Hi! I’m glad that you like my poem! This is the first piece of poetry that I’ve written and posted (not including the one for a collaborative story I did) on here. And I’m really glad that my poem made you want to read The Wingfeather Saga even more, as it is my absolute fav book series (as you can probably tell from my username and q…[Read more]

Your poem felt powerful. Also, tragic, important, and well-written. I especially found the repetition of the word silent to be strong and impactful.

Silent
Silent, as the country crumbles.
Silent, to the pain all ‘round.
Silent. For one doesn’t know what to do.
Silent, to the fathers’ cry.
Silent, to the burning of right.
Silent, to the death of liberty.
Silent. For one doesn’t want to fight.
Silent, as hearts are hardened.
Silent, as tongues fly.
Silent, as the souls a…[Read more]

A Wingfeather Saga poem about Throne Wardens. Not that great at poetry, but I’m working on it.
The Throne Warden.
Courageous, loyal, true,
Protector of his siblings’ life and freedom,
Learner of the Word,
Keeper of not just pen, but also sword,
Hearer of the sea dragons song,
Warrior against Gnag’s wrong,
Artham with his wings,
Janner…[Read more]

@jennythefaun Couldn’t tell the LoTR reference from reading it, and it would be fine anyway. I published a poem that was even more directly inspired by The Handmaid’s Tale a couple years back.
I really like the title, and great concept. My advice is to drop the rhymes. As one of my creative writing professors once said, the best poems don’t r…[Read more]

Hi, Kimmi! I really like your poem. 🙂 Some of my favorite lines were: “Do you not know, you rival the stars? Do you not know, who you are?”
Thanks for sharing!

You Are

You are loved my friend.
Do you not know your worth?
Do you not know, you rival the stars?
Do you not know, who you are?

You’re worth is more than the sun.
More than the flickering lights of the heavens.
Your heart is pure, cleansed by the blood of the Lamb.
You are clean. He loves you.
