Thank you for trusting me.

...See more To all the people who've been struggling, who fight back every day, and find solace and comfort in opening up. Thank you. ------------------------- Through the window I see you, I'm glad that I found Your tentative voice, in blackened times so dark That not even your torch could give off a spark So you entered this void, and you lit up the room Engulfed in frightening shadows, despite their doom You are choosing hope, I hear the echoing sound. It radiates off the wall, in each corner there's now light It floats in our safe space, glimmers bright, aflame You crawl out your shell, leave behind all the shame That never could grasp you for you are a treasure A pearl in the ocean, your worth beyond measure Your journey shows me there's always a shore, hidden from sight -------------------------

What will your verse be?

...See more ''The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here—that life exists and identity; That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.'' (O Me! O Life! by Walt Whitman) i’ve been wondering what that means for me… and honestly, i’m still figuring it out. so i wanted to ask—what’s your verse? 🤍🪻

...See more I sail across in my little boat. Sea gulls passes back and forth, though it may be the same birds. The water ripples, then rests as if I am no intrusion. What wishes to remain unseen doesn’t hide itself, it convinces you it is something else.

...See more hi I'm brand new. I enjoy haiku formatting, although I have been criticized for using too much punctuation. Hehe. I will not critique yours 🌞 and encourage you to share with me your own flavor of haiku.

...See more Hi everyone! Does anyone have any tips on where to begin with writing poetry? I used to love writing but I became pretty depressed and quit. It's something that I'd love to pick up again and I thought, "why not start with poetry?" Any advice is appreciated, thank you! ^.^

...See more This was something I felt last night. Comments and constructive criticism welcome.  ———————————————————— Reverie ouch? Still processing the last time The only time. Really the only time You One time Once   hello?       gasp ffs gd that timbre (i sneer just above a whisper) Not within +/- but down to all the nines of successful match 0.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999... “The message?” one might ask ? we’re not even to what words there were yet. it happened. the needless (aching, painful, wasted, sadistic, regrettable...) years of anticipation we’re fulfilling their dream the slowness of your “reverie” EONS. I lived lifetimes between each word you spoke im there now, not done living the lifetimes making space slowing down each word it is the end of the end coming up  it is happening, but  it isn’t yet  it hasn’t been yet, it isn’t finished, it could still mean... gasp, (but so softly this time) jumping to cut it before  but  I  fail great job. that is a boundary. i recognize you  saying it to me. i can recognize your boundary, and not do anything else.  THE END

My first time posting poetry

...See more i’m not sure if you guys will like this, but let’s try it out.   A summer side beach. In the morning, the sun rises on the sand like an overheating pancake in a pan.  The ocean waves are almost like arms patting the sand.  The people surfing were almost like cutting blades, cutting the sea as arms tried to push them off.   Meanwhile, others made sand sculptures, like a Builder in New York.  Then, finally, when everything was done, Sandcastles done, surfing was done, and toes were burnt.  It was time to see the perfect sunset, falling into the waters, hiding in the reef.  The sand cooled, and the ocean calmed down, ready for another day.
