Poet, writer and performer Holly Bass is the curator of Muses and Metaphor. You can read some of our recent favorites here, or stop and listen to the tweeted poems below.
You can follow Tell Me More's tweets on Storify, too.

My eyes are my trademark
I get them from staring at the sky
but the sun ruins my memory.
I look up anyway
