Description

Verde Mar wrote Turbulent Waves as a member of Twitter's writing community. Turbulent Waves is divided into thirteen sections or "elements", including "Komorebi," the effect of sunlight filtering through the leaves of trees; "Saudade," the love that remains even after someone is gone; and "Petrichor," the mild and pleasant smell or scent of earth associated with the first rain after a dry spell. Each element showcases enigmatic, melancholic, and in some cases "poly-paradoxical" micro writes that work within the theme of that element.

Author Bio

Verde Mar began writing enigmatic, melancholic micro-poetry on Twitter just as the global pandemic began. He was born in Rhode Island just off the Wampanoag Trail by the Narragansett Bay. Earned a bachelor's degree in Computer Science in New Mexico and began a career in technical writing in the San Francisco Bay Area. Built a home by the ocean just as his family welcomed twin children onto our little blue-white box of rain just to keep busy like all writers. An avid vinyl LP audiophile and science fiction reader, Verde also loves to ski and allows golf to play him. Verde Mar now lives in Rancho Mirage, CA and dreams of the days when today's college tuition wasn't the price of a home when he went to college.
