I am an enthusiastic scholar of American, Irish, and English history, Victorian literature, myths, legends, folklore, and Pagan religions. My prose and poetry are generally Gothic in theme and usually set in historical periods. My favourite authors are Edgar Allen Poe, Samuel Clemens, Charles Dickens, Henry James, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H.P. Lovecraft, M. R. James, Washington Irving, and Oscar Wilde, just to name a few, and my favourite poets are Keats, Byron, Yeats, Wordsworth, Tennyson, and Longfellow. I have three books of poetry currently on the market, three Gothic novels, one anthology of six horror stories, and several novellas and novelettes. I was raised in Wheatridge, Colorado and attended The University of Colorado at Denver. I currently live in Corvallis, Montana in the great Pacific Northwest.
I'm a teenage experimental poet, song writer, and author. I come from a good home but a not so good past. I explain myself through poetry and writing, because there is no other way to described me. I'm just awkward. I have severe depression and anxiety, along with other problems and struggles, and writing helps ease it all. I have love and passion for my work, and I plan on becoming a published author in the future. I try to use all senses of perspective in my writing; I wish to help change the world one poem at a time. ***PLEASE DO NOT COPYRIGHT WHAT IS PUBLISHED ON THIS BLOG.

Environmental scientist and maybe a poet. I suspect like most people on here I have an urge to write. I've been much buoyed by kind words and likes over the years on this site, despite been in the weeds and not writing for the past few. Now I have my head above the water I can hear my muse again. Thank you kindly for stopping by. I love reading work by others at all stages of their writing journey. Bon Voyage!
My name is Victoria Rachelle and I'm 15 years old. Poetry is a way to get rid of the pain i feel inside my heart every day. It understands me and does not judge me. I can rely on it to always be there for me when i have no one else. Yes, my poetry may be a little dark but it only shows what and how i honestly feel inside. I have been through a lot of stuff in the past few years and poetry has helped me though it when i didnt think i could get through life anymore. Everyone has their own opinions on life and these are mine. Judge them as you wish but remember that i may not be the only one with that opinion.
I write poetry. It's my entire life, pretty much. Part of me wants to delete all of this, because most of it is childish and stupid. There is a part of me though that kinda wants to hang on to some of it cause it's part of my history. I no longer have physical copies of any of these, and if I delete it without copying it it'll just be gone. No editing; no rewrites; no revisions. Just gone. Never to return again. What should I do?
Hi, this is The wise girl behind the mask, I just want to say I love writing poems. Its fun and actually calms me in some way. So just for heads up when I write, its going to be based off my mood. For example, if I am happy I'll write a happy poem, if I am angry I'll write a angry poem. And I can get very, very angry, so please don't write any bad reviews. I picked The wise girl behind the mask as my name because I am shy. I don't really talk that much but when I do, people are shocked how mature I sound. People say that when I talk, my words are filled with weight and wisdom. Well that explains the wise girl, let me tell you behind the mask girl. When I go out in public I where a mask, I pretend that I'm happy, goofy, and pretend to be a air head. However, I am really smart and don't forget it, I am a straight A and high honor roll student. I hate it when everyone treats me like a child, like a idiot. I am just trying to please my family and friends, but its hard, tiring, humiliating, and I hate it. Though, its not like I have a choice, if my family and friends knew the real me, they will just judge and not listen. I like to write poems, even though I curse sometimes, I only do it to get out my feelings, that they make me feel. Now let me tell you about the real me, I love writing, books, outdoor activities, and parks. I might sound like a stiff, but I can be a bit of a trouble-maker, I love to pull pranks sometimes. I also love music, I can not survive without music. My favorite color is blue, I'm a girl, not telling you my age, but I am young. I hate pink, most ugliest color in the world, I am tall for my age, love animals. My goal is to be a veterinarian in the future. Now that everything is settled, come and read my poems, tell me what you think. Have a jolly day, and good bye for now.

I used to keep my feelings bottled up until I started to write You shouldn't feel alone when you're always around people right? But I always do and I really don't know why Letting it out in poems feels better than to cry One day I was in my room and I knew no one would understand me So I grabbed a pen and paper and I felt free I started to jot down what I was feeling All the pain started healing
I write out my emotions, as every poet does of course. I am a passionate believer that poetry indeed is not just merely told, or thought, it is felt with the heart. True poetry is an extension of one's soul on paper, to touch other's souls in order for the author to be understood or to tell a story. I am Josiah, I am 17 years old. Most of my other poems were written to a girl I was infatuated with, and got my heart miserably broken, but we are best friends now. I still love to write about love though; nowadays my more romantic poems are directed to a wonderful young woman who I regard as the one. She is a true blessing. My other poems are about beautiful things, or my mental hardships that plague me, but are not forever. I hope all of you thoroughly enjoy my poetry.
