I think of myself as a poem. Poems and I are much similar. When i write , I draw out a picture, any picture that comes to mind. After drawing the picture i title it. Then i study the image that I have drawn. This is what brings back memories , or what we like to call it "Flash backs". My poems are a mixture of my & what i have seen. its kinda like i write peoples autobiography for them. Plus i'm sort of good at reading people. Enjoy my poems. I hope at least 1 out of 5 can relate. ~Terena.M~
Namaste, Although I am now residing in sunny Florida, I grew up in Queens, New York. I am the eldest daughter of Jamaican, West Indian immigrants. We were a lively family, five siblings altogether with plenty of love and joviality to go around. From early on, I loved creating stories. My brothers and sisters also keenly enjoyed listening to them. But, being the natural artist, I preferred to retreat into the silence of my room surrounded by my dolls, where we would embark on all sorts of imaginative and adventurous tales. My siblings would listen with their ears glued to the bedroom door, occasionally a giggle of delight escaped from the other side of the door. This interest in story telling gradually metamorphosed into the art of penning poetry. Over the years I have written many poems. The fascinating thing about the imaginative process that I've observed, is that there seems to be some sort of bridge that connects us to the creative source. This is similar to what I experienced in my childhood, a quiet space within, beyond me where creative ideas flow endlessly. On another note, I am also an artist. But, LOL, all of my paintings tell a story too. My work is a visual and poetic diary of my spiritual journey. From the highest peaks in the Himalayas to many of the sacred ashrams in holy India I have been blessed with the opportunity to journey through that divine land eleven times. My spiritual quest began on June 6, 1970 with the birth of my daughter. During the birth I had an amazing out-of-body-experience which catapulted me out of ordinary three dimensional awareness into an astounding, metaphysical reality which I know survives and surpasses death, misery, joy, materialism and all that is dualistic and worldly. A space of being in which Pure Love, Life and Light exists Eternally. This event inspired me to explore the intriguing inner realms of Self through Yoga, Meditation, Rosicrucianism and other spiritually laden paths. I have written two books. The first, "Sai Rapture, The Ecstatic Journey of a Modern Day Gopi " portrays my spiritual journey. The second book, "108 Bhakti Kisses, The Ecstatic Poetry of a Modern Day Gopi" is a garland of poems celebrating the divine in everything.
Well, I have definitely had an odd experience with this journey we call life. I spent Nine years in prison. While travelling that dark road I realized that life was more valuable than the things I was wasting it on. I'm definitely an amateur when it comes to poetry, but I just like to write. Maybe someone will enjoy it, and maybe no one will. Either way, I just wanted to share some of my writings.
My name is Tashoy Bailey. I realized I had the potential to be a poet when I was 14 years old. However I started to write and document when I was 16 . I write both Jamaican dialect and English. I also write plays and short stories but my sweetheart is poetry. At the age of 19 I got saved by the grace of God and so my poems now are centered around Him. He is my muse. Therefore I would like to welcome you all to vast in His righteousness and holiness. Love you all!
Hello everybody! I am Kasey Tides. I never knew that I would be doing poetry, but now I am writing poetry and poetry guides. I thought that I should've done design. But somehow there was a sign. I got up from my work, and declared to myself: " I need poems for this empty shelf!". In college I studied rhyming and words, but I stopped and got more into birds. I don't know how I ended up here, but I no longer will switch my career.
I am a 19 year old college student, and my major is diagnostic medical sonography. I have loved poetry ever since I could remember, and didn't start writing any until I was about 14. I have had two poems recently published in books, but I mainly write poetry to express my thoughts and feelings and not for publishing although it is nice.
I came to this crazy realm of existence on June 14, 1992 in a trailer on top of a mountain in North Carolina that's probably why I love mountains. I then moved up to Columbus, Ohio at the age of 5 because all of my immediate family lived there and mom decided i needed to meet my grandparents before they passed over. I am a sensitive person in words and literature, I care about others and their needs and I think all of us should be like this it would make the world a better place. But just recently in my life my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and is currently off treatment recommended by the doctors to be put in a hospice so now i fight with my emotions and I will write them into poems mostly to convey how I am feeling. I hope you enjoy my work I've been told I'm really good at poetry.
I used to know who I was, but that too seems trivial to me. There for I've taken the name TheLostSoul. All my love, pain, heartbreak, and inner thoughts are locked inside my writing. Enjoy getting to know me, and hopefully getting a new perspective on life and ideas. My poems and stories will challenge your inner being to decipher the true meaning behind my writing. It will also make you think about how "YOU" would come up with an alternate solution. Again enjoy entering the mind of Trevor J. Shuler (aka TheLostSoul).

When I was little I loved to write but it was nothing serious I'd write small stories until I became seven years old my life became very hard .Because my great grandmother had passed away by a wide spreading of cancer which killed her at the age of 69 heart broken I began writing papers on poetry that was deep and dark people would wonder if i was goth all the time. AFter that I wanted to write poetry that spoke to peoples hearts that touched thier enter pain and sooth the soul. when I was 14 I love to watch horror movies ( I still do)UNtil I kind of watched marathon and stayed up for at least 3 days and on the forth day I tried to walk an drped like a dead body .
