This is for my 3-6-14 card.

B column: (five poems): keeping warm, fury, peace offering, taking a chance, party / festival
Fandoms: Polychrome Heroics

This is a superhero setting with a variety of focal characters. The primary one is a plural person collectively called Damask, with different powers depending on who's in control at the time. Themes include diversity of sexuality, gender, ethnicity, and ableness; intrapersonal, interpersonal, and social dynamics; and different types of heroism. Some of these poems stand alone quite well, while others will make more sense if you read them in order; all the published poems are linked on the series page and are free to read.
