Inspirational poetry is just the thing to lift your spirits or rejuvenate your creativity.

Bad writing
Bad writing rarely sleeps. It can’t be said to have a point of view. Without quotes or dialogue, it’s a person with no face.

The Hard Road
No matter how it looks on the outside, I honestly feel like everybody has to take a hard road at some point in life. Some we take by choice and some we are chosen for. Either way, hard is hard. Just know nothing lasts forever, easy or hard. Breathe and step by step, breath by breath, moment by moment you push through it all.

College
How foolish I was to think back then that this school I went to would be my friend. Tests and quizzes to show off my brain but outside of class did I retain? The notes, the skills, the things I said; all of it stored within my head?

Hold on
The wind sees frozen with the lack of sound The echo of your voice, no more now nowhere to be found The light that flickered

SILHOUETTES AND SUNSETS
Silhouettes captivate me! They inspire my poetry. The 5-7-5 haiku that follows is my response to photos taken at sunset during the final fifteen minutes of light. If you have never considered photos of silhouettes as prompts for writing, I urge you to do so. The experience opened my mind to themes I hadn't thought of.

Mental Cliffs...
Weary of the triggers that put me on the edge. The edge of a cliff in my very own mind, where I just want to jump and see where I'll land.

Poem in a Yurt
Perhaps I will write a poem in my yurt in the front yard of my home with no distractions no naked young women being here inside with sexual intentions.

Untreatable
Suicidal thoughts slowing down Violent ideas depleting Agitation laid rest in ground Mental illness I’m defeating * Heavily medicated now
