Another Poem about Unsuccessful “Love”

This is a poem I wrote during a very difficult breakup. For years I haven’t shared it out of respect for the other person involved. I’m sharing it today because a healthy amount of time has finally passed.

Unrequited Love and Such

I found a note in my phone from January 14, 2016. I don't quite remember what situation I was writing about but I still resonate with the words of my 19 year-old self. I hope these words speak to you the way they spoke to me today.

To the Poets who Came before Me

Last Sunday I went to a poetry show featuring four amazing poets.The experience was completely amazing and I am forever grateful for it. This Free-Thinking Friday I am sharing my experience as well as an open letter to all the poets who came before me.

Roses Reincarnated

A poem by Courtney Peppernell inspired me to rewrite a poem I wrote about love in 2014. It's beautiful to witness my own personal growth and redefining of the word "love". Spoiler Alert: If you are withering, my dear, it is not love.

All Ship Travel is Traumatic

A few weeks ago I was on a cruise-ship when I suddenly felt the urge to write. This poem is the result of that experience.

Words from the Week

Happy Free-Thinking Friday!! I've been challenging myself to write more often so I spent some time this week doing just that. I hope you enjoy "words from the week"
