I’m glad you brought this up. I’m a very amateur poet so I’m always trying to get ideas on how to improve. I have noticed that my best poems are the ones where I do get specific and personal. With poetry you want to pack as much as possible into few words so if you want your poem to be effective, I think you have to get concrete. One…[Read more]

Let’s be honest with ourselves for a minute. Let’s put aside the idea that every poem has to have a Hallmark ending and sound like a Hallmark card and really genuinely ask ourselves what makes for a poem that feels authentic. Take a minute and think about it, and then please do comment your thoughts below. Let’s get an honest-to-goodness…[Read more]

Hey sister there a lot I could say
Bottled up inside of me. A well over flowing, never empty
But I can’t. It just seems like there’s no way
Words are just too weak. My phrases fail to meet the needI’m burning with desire, all consumed with this fire

I’m standing right here watching as you struggle
And wishing…[Read more] -

Rough draft of a poem I just wrote today. Probably the rawest thing I’ve written, which isn’t saying much lol.
by B. Gauterius
I cannot say what I think
And I cannot think of what to say.

What my heart begs to convey–
I’ll pretend I didn’t hear you.
But I wish that I could tell you
And hear what you would…

I like it! There are a couple lines though that throw off the meter though. But otherwise, it’s great!

My latest poem.
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Writing is like dancing.</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>My words flowing on a page.</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Each powerful emotion</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Fitting in it’s place.</p>
