My name is Kamu, but names only stay important in the physical world. I am a writer, a poet, a photographer, and an artist. I am a person in this world, that just wants to contribute to all the creative energy in this world. Hoping that my poems will inspire and positively affect people, to let them wander into the deeper side of their life, to pull out the words from their thoughts, and creatively place them into reality. In my journey through life, I am constantly being awakened into someone else's imagination, and I share my thoughts and reflect upon theirs, being inspired to write from ideas that we have all put out together, sharing the images and emotions that come from our complex human minds. To me, questions are the most important thing of all. The art of questioning all and having theories and trying to fill out the unknown seems to be one of my greatest fascinations. I love thinking about things that stay a mystery in this world. It is what inspires me to write. Writing is a way for me to express in a way that is unavailable in any other form of art, or on a greater scale, life. I hope you enjoy what I am trying to express, and I hope to be inspired by your creativity as well. Thank you.

I have grown up in a fundamentalist christian sect ... i have now escaped and i write my feelings and my battles into my poetry :)

I was born in 1997, I've had a weird life, being forced to grow up fast, going through situations that will be described in some of my poems. I'm currently in high school dealing with what life throws at me. No matter what happens to me I try to deal life with a smile on my face, but my poetry is where I let everything flow out.

Rosa Aimeé dreams of love and passion in the beautiful Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. Mother of three kids and teacher by heart, she finds in poetry a window opened to stare at the turquoise seas and the greenest hills; of coffee plantations and ilán-ilán trees.

Im Reece from sheffield UK iv always tried to write poems growing up but iv never been good at writing. iv only ever been good at using my imagination and my hands. im a romantic person and im also an emotional person so i try to put all i am into the poems Reece xx

My name is Adrian. I grew up in the Sierra Nevada's of California. I'm in my early 30s and still living the solo, single life. I'm a creative individual who expresses himself through writing, photography, and making short videos. Most of my writings have a Love or Life touch, but I consider my work to be a variety of different elements. I have been writing poems and short stories since High School and some through my college years. Since I'm one of the single men with no children at his side, My writing centers around what comes in my mind and the many things any single, loving individual would wish to have. Some of my writings can be light or dark, happy or sad, It depends on what my creative mood is. Many people inside my circle know very little of my writing, but know me for my contributions in photography and creative video ambitions. I chose to separate the writer and the creative photographer, because it would draw too much attention. If you have any questions or want to share writings, feel free.

Born in North Carolina, moved around a lot throughout my life, dad was in the military. Moved to a small town in Northern Michigan when I was 8 years old. I'm the middle child with two other brothers, some call me a troublemaker, but I am just a wild and free being that cannot stand "normal"... I like to make the best of all situations, good or bad, I keep smiling BIG and stay optimistic through all my hardships and pursue all my dreams. Life is love and I embrace it. So, fuck back then I'm the shit right now!

I put pen to paper and make something beautiful.

I normally can't say out loud how I feel about being who I am, and even in my writing I hide it. I feel as if my point comes across thoug . My name is Vincent, I like to use my Hawaiian name Mapu when I write. I'll add more as my life goes on.

I have been writing poetry for a really long time and now I think I'm ready for other people to see it to.

Hello and welcome to my personal outlet for all of my own poetry. I am still a growing poet and would love any feedback about my work whether it is positive or negative so I can continue to grow and improve my poems. I hope you all enjoy!

Hello, my name is Georgia-lee but feel free to call me Gee. I'm 17 years old and I've been writing poetry from the age of 13. I love to write - it's a way of expressing who I am as a person, and the possibilities of these expressions are endless. I hope that you all enjoy my poetry and I'll endeavor to continue writing :)

We met at some mall and at first she (Ioana) seemed uninterested with what I had to say. Until I walked up to her and introduced myself. Yes.... I was shy, but it played out well and we've been friends ever since....

Ill try to post as many poems that I create. :P

I am me !!

Bore and raise in Los Angeles, California, Lennell Haley has lived in a variety of locations that gave her wisdom and insight into the human experience. Some experiences she would say are the impetus for many of her writings such as the period she and her family lived in the Imperial Courts Projects(off of 114th Grape Street) in Watts, California. Ms. Lennell Haley received her public school education in the State of California graduating from LeRoy Locke High School in 1973. She attended Southwest Junior College where she received Early Childhood Education Credits which led substitute teaching in the Compton School Distinct. She enjoyed working with students especially in the area of creative writing during the 15 years spent in the classroom. A high moment in her career was when Ms. Haley received publication in 2008 with four poetry pieces being accepted by International Poetry Writing along with an invitation to attend one of the largest poetry conventions in the world. An honor received during the event, held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada, was being awarded runner-up in the Newly Published Writer's category; this occasion was the impetus for other doors to begin opening. Ms. Haley considers her writing abilities a blessing from God and humbles herself gracefully. With no formal training, Ms. Haley says that the words begin to flow from within the moment she opens herself to God and begins to recognize that it is only through Him that she can express herself fully and honestly. She has stated many times that, "I write as the words come forth...period. "Her first memorable piece entitled, "Flowing Angel", was written in 2006. Ms. Haley says, "I was blessed with the skill of poetry writing in the simplest form which helps many others to be able to relate to and be healed by my words. Since 2006, Ms Haley has moved to Tulsa, OK and has published two books. her first book was cathartic being just the tool needed to open the floodgates towards healing. Over time, Ms. Haley penned her second book that opened her eyes as it dealt with a subject many do not acknowledge in the African American community--mental abuse. Her second book entitled "The Covering of God" is about live as a Christian and a sinner with insight into the understanding that if we man/woman falls, they have the right to get back up and try again. Ms. Haley believes that by knowing that as long as we have breath in our bodies each day we will learn something different, this ongoing learning will help us to grow into whom God Almighty created us to be.

My name is Rashawn or Raee. I'm 20 and I'm schizophrenic. I have depression and social anxiety. I have no friends. I stick to myself. Very honest and nice. I'm the best person ever if you stay on my good side. I'm not a mean person. People think because I'm schizophrenic that I'm a bad person. That's not true. I have a voice and I feel like it should be heard. Some of you might not agree with my poems but I highly recommend that you read my poem and understand it before you judge. Ive been writing for about three years now. It is my passion. Thanks.

I am a 19 year old gay guy who's just trying to get through this hurdle called life. I live in Indiana and have a boyfriend who is 975 miles away in Massachusetts. Poetry is new to me and it has become an escape to me.

Hello my name is Rosalind and I first started writing poetry in April of 2011. I am a born again Christian and have a wonderful relationship with father God I would have never imagined for one second that God had given me a gift for writing poems. It is a great opportunity to be sharing the word of god with you, I have been praying that the lord would provide funds for my poetry to be published. I first grew up with a mother had mental health problems and wasn't able to give me the love required to grow and develop into a stable young adult. My mum came from an very abusive background and most of her life she would show a pattern of inconsistency and this affected me badly most of my childhood days were very lonely and i had no friends and was bullied for most of my childhood days as a result my school work suffered and i was at the bottom class at school. When I was sixteen I became unwell and had a nervous breakdown I was in hospital for months and event I made a recovery some of my poetry speaks about these terrible moments in my life I went on to marry an abusive man and had 5 children by him and later had another broken relationship, evidently met a wonderful loving christian man we have been together for six years and just got married on the 16th Dec we happy together God can take the weak and to wonderful things i carried a lot of shame for most of my life. I found it difficult to make eye to eye contact because of it, but now God has taken my shame and brokenness and turned it round I do believe if I hadn't suffered all this pain both as a child and adult I would have definitely not been writing poetry today I do hope that my poems will change lives and turn them around. I have 4 sons and 3 daughters and 3 grandchildren and one on the way. I live in Scotland in the UK I am 55 nearly 56 I am so thrilled to be doing this work for the lord it is a pleasure.

Original since 1991. Scorpio. Oldest of 6. Best friends with my single mom. Georgia peach at heart, physically in the Windy City. Forever blessed. Karma is real. Pink is my favorite. Severe sweet tooth especially for cheesecake. Always in thought. Believer of if you're a bird I'm a bird. Obviously hopeless romantic. Reading and writing are my therapy. The beach makes me whole. Just riding the waves till I get there.

I'm lonely, even when I'm surrounded by people. I always get the impression that I don't fit in. I'm not crazy or anything. I don't cut myself, or torture cats. I just don't know what I'm doing with life at the moment. I haven't had any direction since university, and I thought I'd create a profile here and share some of my writing with you. Thanks for taking the time out to read this.

I'm a 20-year-old independent, and outspoken individual. I don't write to impress anybody, I've found that writing is a healthy way for me to cope with my depression and other emotions, whether they're nostalgic, happy, or an ambivalent mixture of the two. I'm in the process of trying to find myself. I'm from Massachusetts, the state with the most successful sports teams (in my opinion at least), aggressive drivers, "wicked" rude people, bipolar weather, and awesome clam chowder. Oh yeah, - it's also the world headquarters of mispronouncing the letter "R". :) One of my greatest influences in life has been Hayley Williams, the front woman of the band Paramore. Growing up as a teen, I felt completely alone. Her music helped me find a much stronger part of myself that I wouldn't have realized existed otherwise. It's an amazing feeling when you discover music that you can relate to some of the most heartfelt moments of your life, and other components of it that make you who you are. I'm an animal, piercing, tattoo, and book lover, and also a huge motorcycle enthusiast. - Would love to own one sometime in the near future! If you'd like to talk to me more, feel free to email me anytime at the email I have provided! <3 Diana D.

Just a 17 year old girl with a passion for words. I don't consider my self by any stretch a particularly good poet. But if I enjoy writing then who's to say that even matters?

Writing for quite some time. I do not have any favorite poets, however The Divine Comedy and The Odyssey are favorite works. I mostly do free form. If its not free form it is a syllable based poem, or anything else. I will change the world with my words. The pen is mightier than the sword.

I was born, Raised, And thus became the person I am today.

i skydive, im also a barista. writing is my escape to an imperfect world

My Dad wrote Poetry to my Mom all the time! I guess it is Genetic!
