I'm a 50 year old mother of five and grandmother of seven. I am wonderfully and completely in love and have been for over ten years. I KNOW THAT I AM TRULY BLESSED. I used to write poetry every single day and back then I had plenty of dark lost painful places to write from. When life started getting better I somehow convinced myself that without misery I had nothing to write from so I gave it up for about 12 years only the coaxing of my lover and best friend caused me to pick up paper and pencil ( yes that's right I prefer to write old school) only after I perfect it on paper do I enter it online. I plan on trying to write for at least ten minutes a day and I hope I still at least have a little creativity and that I will get better with practice. i find it intriguing when looking for inspiration to finally be able to feel the words coming from a happy place.
a mature lady of 57 that is enjoying time to do what she really loves. I love to paint, to grow roses, and to write. I adore my two grand daughters, and my children. The time is short, and every day I get to be here is a blessing. The god of love and righteousness is my hope. Worked as an RN for many years, interested in healing physical and spiritual. Hope to finish a manuscript soon and get it published.
I'm Ally Hawkins, 17 years of age, born and raised in Texas but just moved to Colorado. I love the outdoors! The trees, the animals, the stars, they mean more to me than anything. I'm a nut but it's where my character comes from. I like to stay emotionally reserved but I suck at pretending not to feel. I love all art forms and hope to start a thing called TherapeuticArts, to show people art can get you through anything. I'm best at drawings ducks ahah but I also draw other things. My favorite art form is poetry but I also hope to write a book or two. I also paint, scrapbook, bead, ect. I try my hardest not judge others but everyone is human at times. I like classical music, meditation music, rock, acoustic, indie, folk, punk, just about anything I can get into. I enjoy hiking, singing, talking, smoking some herb, googling, and cooking.
I have only written poems for a little over two years. I met a wonderful man, who's love inspired me. I am sure I do not follow the poetry rules, however I get so much enjoying, writing down the words in my head. All of my poems have true meaning and relate to current events in my life. Feel free to Critique my writings, as I am still learning!
If I try to write I believe I could, But to be honest I don't think I would Without trial and error there is no chance, My writing skills would ever advance, To write wonderful poems you must be so great, But in the end writing poetry is my fate, So I wont give up on my long favored dream, Even though this is so much harder than it seems Just read my poems that I hope you like, and give me feed back. Just hoping you might <3
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Started poetry at a performing arts Junior high school. After joining the poetry slam for the school I won third place winner. Now currently in Atlanta, Georgia and hosting my own poetry shows that include other forms of art. Ease share with me, my wonderful works :)
I have had a decent life, I can not complain one bit. Nothing is going on right now that i am at hand to mention. I'm just a simple music and literature loving person. I'm loveable and different I dont choose a certain type of life style i just grow into it. I am not one to jump a bandwagen, if I like something, I like it all there is to it. I'm weird but friendly and i let fate and destiny lead me, along with Christ our Lord. Thats pretty much it, I know pretty boring, but how much can you ask out of one person. -Tim
Having come from an extremely abusive home, there were 4 of us and I was the odest one from my mother though I have 1 half sister that's older, I was adopted at 3 years old, and raised as an only child. My childhood was rough, I mostly lived an isolated life in my room. My parents tried, they did the best they could, at least I was loved and that's what really matters, but kids are cruel, I had hardly any friends in school, my parents were strict and old school in their parenting. They really believed in "spare the rod, spoil the child." And I led a very sheltered life. So after. Many fights, all of the huffing, many. Suicide attempts,, and lots of homemade alcohol, as an escape I got married right after h.s. I was a 93 graduate, and jumped directly out of the frying pan and into the fire as my ex husband ws highly abusive. Not to mention that I,m actually a lesbian and wasn't yet ready to admitt it. Well here I m 2 relationships, and a fractured neck later, , and I am finally truely happy. I'm buddhist, I,ve found the love of my life! She's an awesome musician, I,m finally building a relationship with my sisters, My girlfriend and i are enguaged to marry though we haven't yet set the date. Through out my life poetry, art, philosophy, and percussion ahave been my refuge, I began writing in the 3rd grade...and haven"t stopped since. The poems I'm about to share are part of my soul and I hope you enjoy them.
