Let me just say that I am SO excited you all are beginning the poeter’s journey. 😀

Main things that helped me were reading expert’s poetry, reading friend’s poetry, and being transparent.  What I mean by that is letting others read and tear apart your work.  It’s hard because sometimes poetry’s really personal, but it’s always worth it. :…[Read more]

@emma-starr Go Emma Starr!!!!!!!!!!! <3 I’d be stoked to see some of your poems on here! XD

@kb-writer Music and poetry always go together…let’s just say that. 😉 Also, your signature just is…great.

@the-fledgling-artist

Hi – I’m even later than Katherine, so hopefully I’m still welcome 🙂 Just to start out, your poetry is lovely and heartfelt.  Both Katherine and Evelyn’s advice are superb and I can’t say what they said better t…[Read more]

@lin

This poem is so wonderful <3  I would agree with Katherine that I just have to keep reading it because it’s so full of life and joy and wonder 🙂

There are a few places that are a bit rough on the tongue – Katherine covered most of them, so I’ll just mention a few more.  But I do have to say that overall, the mood you captured in the p…[Read more]

@kb-writer @k-a-grey You guys!

…

are great.

😉

Anyways, haven’t been on here for a while, but here’s a poem I cooked up the other day.  Have fun!

Who I Am…Or Maybe Not

I’m not a perfect person.
You know that, but I thought I’d
tell you what it’s like to be
the girl I am.
And yet, I really do not want
to tell you everything becaus…[Read more]

@dakota This is so full of color and beauty.  Last stanza is very much my favorite. 🙂 Thank you for writing all of these.  I don’t comment on every single one, but they’re so refreshing to read – like prayers to God. 🙂

I just realized that long ago, I should’ve tagged some of my friends who would really enjoy this.  So here goes: @kb-writer an…[Read more]

@brookewolf Critiquing is something I’ve never really loved to do, but this sounds interesting, and if you’re still willing, I’d love to take a look.  I can’t pledge myself to be fully on track and on time because, well…life is life.  But if you still want, I’m here and, available for the most part. 🙂 Sounds like a neat project!

@h-jones

Dear sister, I know what that’s like and will definitely be praying for you!  Just to let you know, you’re not the only one.  We all struggle like that sometime in life, and StoryJoy is right: God uses these trials to lay bare our weaknesses.  We think we are failures, and that’s right–we are.  But the amazing thing is knowing that in…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Thank you so much! 🙂 I passed it on to her through email, and hopefully, she’ll get it tomorrow…er, today, actually!  Wait, that means its…

Christmas!?

Merry Christmas you all!!!  Have a lovely day full of Jesus’ peace and joy as we remember his incarnation!  Love you all!

@chalice Thank you so much for sharing.  Having been through tough times, as we all have, it’s a comfort knowing our God holds us in the palm of his hand.

@anyone-else, how do you get on the list to share?

@selah-chelyah Yes, I was in an accident this past July.  I am doing alright now, thanks to God.  He is so amazing.  I was riding on the back bumper of a van with my cousins while we were in the mountains, and I slipped and fell onto the road.  Needless to say, I got a severe concussion and two skull-fractures.  Another long story short, I was…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Thank you so much!

@law0413 @gabriellepollack @serenity @h-jones

So update: Liana is doing much better!  Praise the Lord!  And thank you all for your prayers!  She did not need to stay at the hospital and has a concussion, but no skull damage…thank you, Jesus!  She is recovering, able to do a little already, and right now is str…[Read more]

@wisdomofprose

Dear Anne,

Thank you so much for your prayers!  They are so appreciated. <3  I am doing lots better than I was in July, thankfully, and God has been healing me miraculously quickly – the doctors couldn’t believe it.  I’m SO excited because January first will be my first day of contact sports!  (but that’s a story for another tim…[Read more]
