I am a younger writer, I will say I'm 14. I use poetry as an outlet to express my feelings and hopefully help people who are in rough patches of there life. I take criticism very well, I fact I greatly encourage it! I'm looking forward to improve my skill level with the help of all of you!
I've always had a passion for writing stories and poems and them I got to realise I'm quite good at it, my main inspiration is my wiccan pathway, nature and the love of my life, my twin flame, Rev. Shaman Peter John Patrick. I started writing poems for my now ex husband when I lost both parents at an early age but it poetry was a way out for me, I used to lose myself in stories, loseing them although I miss them dearly allowed me to grow up quick, be more independent and strong and find my own way in life. I'm currently a support worker for adults with learning disabilities and love making a difference to others lives. Just recently I have been drawn to the pagan religion WICCA and I have been busy studying and living my life in the way of WICCA. I am on a journey of discovering my higher self and a lot of my inspiration comes from how following this pathway makes me feel, my love of nature and my new way of thinking. It has brought so much beauty to my life. At the moment I just want to help others and show others the new me and as a result of this I am now looking at putting my poem writing skills to the test and to the service of others by writing poems by request for people. You may find me a bit off the wall, un predictable and random, my sense of humour can be a bit dry so never take me seriously unless I'm being serious of course lol. Mad as a box of frogs but those fbrogs are very in touch with their senses, it facinates me to watch people and I can usually sense what that person is all about from just one look and a moment to feel their aura and I find I am usually right but it it never fails to amaze me, I guess we all have to have a few special skills as we are all individual. I'm friendly and down to earth, I am honest but sometimes brutally so and so if your not going to like an answer to something then don't ask the question but that's what makes us stronger, knowing our faults and having the ability to do something about them. I don't bite often by the way so come and say hello, I love hearing others views on things, obviously I have my own opinions but I will not try to force it upon others. I worship nature and celebrate the earth and seek to bring about positive changes in the way I live my life and using my knowledge to help others. For so long now I have always felt like the odd one out in all that I do and that there is something missing and now I have found it. Something that feels like I belong, something that feels like home and suits me in each and every way and I'm never going to look back all I have been through has led me onto this path, all lessons I have learnt so far and here I am, ready to take on life's challenges and lessons, ready to adapt and alter my life so I can finally evolve. I believe we should look after ourselves spiritually and physically, everything we go through we go through for a reason even having a body is lesson alone to see if we can look after these precious valuable vessels or if we just abuse them or let them go to waste. Push out minds, our bodies and our souls to be the very best they can be, I always count my blessings each day and give thanks for all I have, all I am and my memories. Without my memories and influences from people and things during my life I wouldn't be me, I don't believe others can make you who you are but they can certainly influence you and point you in the right direction. Never turn down an opportunity and live for each moment. I believe in treating others how I would want to be treated and if they losethat respect I believe the universe will deal with them in it's own fair way.We are always learning new things, we never stop learning about outselves we spend our time getting to know others but do we really know ourselves but should always be on the search for our true self, evolving with the lessons we learn and the knowledge we absorb. I believe each of us go through many life times and learning new lessons as we go and revisiting those lessons we failed to learn in a previous life. In life all that is truly ours is our soul and our memories and depending how advanced we are when it comes back to a new life I believe it's easier to restore those past life memories depending on the age and level of the soul, I believe I am an old soul in a young body I feel like I am not living in the right time but time doesn't exists anyway, and I have knowledge and sometimes write stuff that has come from no where and I do not recall learning it. I believe not even our bodies are our own, they are gifts from the gods so we can move around in certain ways, perceive the world in many different ways, we get to feel, taste, hear and smell all the beauty in the world. Pet peeves: People who don't have the time for others or think that they above everyone and being underestimated. So to finish on a positive note I've never been happier or felt more myself :)
It's good to let out pent up anxiety or feelings.. and that's what I do with poetry besides going out and jogging. Hey, jogging/ exercising is cheaper than therapy!:p Anyways, that last bit was random haha. But welcome to my page. I don't post often.. okay never would be the correct word, but I try and stay in the loop with new poems out from followers and people that I follow.

Here, you'll find verses that capture the delicate dance of emotions, from the gentle touch of love to the raw vulnerability of breaking. My poetry is an exploration of the beauty found in the ordinary moments, a celebration of the human spirit, and an invitation for you to see a reflection of your own experiences in these lines. This is not just about my words; it's about the connections we forge through shared emotions. I invite you to join the conversation. Share your thoughts, your stories, and let's create a community where words become bridges between hearts. Thank you for being a part of this poetic journey. Let the verses resonate, the emotions flow, and may you find a piece of yourself within these lines.
Hi! My name is Chelsi, I am a mom before anything. I am rediscovering my long lost love for poetry. I have never shared anything I’ve written publicly because quite frankly I do it for me and nobody else. I don’t even know if it’s good, but it makes me feel good. This is completely out of my comfort zone. I primarily made this because I would like a place to save all my old poems from notebooks dating back to high school days. I would just like to have them all in one place. This first one I started last night and finished today. It was my first (maybe second) in a decade or better. It wasn’t planned by any means. Words randomly started jumbling together in my head late last night so I ran with it. Everything flowed from within a place I had not been in touch with for a long time. I didn’t know that place still existed within me to be honest. Hopefully this was the first of more to come. Please keep in mind I’m not trying to turn this into a living haha! I’m not college educated, haven’t taken any writing courses or anything. This is strictly more of a hobby or an emotional outlet for me. :)
Amber Decker is a poet from West Virginia who has never, despite Hollywood's sorely inaccurate depictions of her Appalachian roots, had sex with any relatives or animals, nor has she ever cannibalized anyone who has taken a...wrong turn. She is a lover of horses, hooded sweatshirts, coffee, dark chocolate, fantasy novels, werewolf movies and red wine. She also spends a ridiculous amount of time at the gym working on her anger management issues. Her latest collection of poems, The Girl Who Left You, is forthcoming from the notorious Six Ft Swells Press. Her website, containing information about new publications and events, is: http://roughverse.wordpress.com
What a crazy world this is we live in, All born to lead a life unknown, I have been the outcast, I have looked inside, I haven't found the answer, Just a life to which I abide. We grow each day, Each hour, Each minute, I am present, I am here, I am as I come, And I know what I fear. To tell you all my truths, Would take me a partial lifetime, So let me just speak this truth to you Much simpler than enlightening. I am an energy, I am a friend, I am a mother, Until the end. I am a daughter, I am troubled, I am kind, I am lost Sometimes I falter, I am strong And I am free. I am an unusual being But in the end I am me.
