Poetry
Tenderness spread

from the pen to the heart,
the writing is the moment
when the poetry helps to
tear the world apart.

the pain, the darkness,
are all washed away.
the soul is lit
when you with verse
do play .

Back On Track

Meme-emotional description

Okay I am caught Up as far as the poems…Even on the Pad Challenge. I did the posts for the Ars Poetica…However I feel like it might just be too much to do the Pad images. I am still trying to catch up on the main stuff for Fae Corps. That means currently I have 5 books to get organized, and published. The marketing images made for and everything done. That is only for the rest of November and December. I have a Live manuscript on my desk half read. (I really hate half way doing anything.) and I have to deal with the normal day to day stuff like blood work and doctors appointments. I should be able to at the least keep up with the Ars Poetica posts, and when I can I will be doing that as well

Poetry

As you should write
Reality is a matter of perspective
Still unique to you

Please do put thought
On the topics of the
Epic words
That you are
Inscribing to
Calm the world down
As you should always think before you poem.

Poetry

expression is not
hiding from emotions
speaking cryptically
forgetting about it
finding the idea of life in others

expression is
writing anything in poetry
speaking your truth
being your authentic self
giving in to your own creativity

welcome to the world
the poetry for it is but
the way the heart explains
itself to the ignorant.

picking up the pen
to write the verse
frees the soul.

If you need me
look in my poetry.

no other place
exists so much of
who I am.

the words say
what I cannot
in a way that feels right.

Poetry

Caustic ink burns
as the ink is carved

poetry is another expression
of the heart's desires

burning design
onto the paper
perhaps it is but
the answer to dreams

Poetry

when the cold comes in
the pen freezes off,
poetry seems to spread
the warmth that the world needs.

so shake away the cold
and pick up the pen,
write the world
a much needed poem.

Did you miss me?

FAQ

I am aware that I have missed the majority of the last week. November is always a hard time for me. I end up sick more often than not. Chronic Bronchitis doesn’t seem to let me do everything that I want to do. Between that and the stress of moving my youngest child into their own house… and then the election…I just went out of commission. I am behind on my work, have not written anything in a week and am barely back to being alive. I am trying to get my work caught up – because I have authors depending on me. I’m sorry for the delay in my own writing.  I plan on going back and trying to do the poetry for the missed days, whether I end up getting them up here or not. I am going to try to start posting again. This will be a little bit of effort on my part as my desk is still covered by things that I have been neglecting.
