I was born in El Salvador and raised there till my 6th birthday, the rest until now I've lived in Maryland. I'am the second oldest, the middle child you could even say. I'am a poet from not what I can rhyme but from what i can say to mean what I feel. I've been writing since I could grasp a pen and bail a mark out my spirit. I love the beauty of words and expression, I am the ruby of flies; the source of words that carry an audience. I love poetry its the only drug worth rolling in paper, and the only taste i find it unwinding to saver. This is my biography poetry its self.
I come from a long line of struggle and hardship and I was graced with the battle scars to prove it. However because of this I love to help people who go through the trials and tribulations of life the best way I can. I want to provide hope and an outlook that they hadn't had before even with something so "simple" as a quick read.
Laura became a published author in 2009, with the short story, A Golden Circle of Life, and the poem, The Dream, in the book Patchwork, printed by Box Sled Press. The Dream by Laura Lea, Will the clouds roll back, revealing my dream? Will God show me my place in the scheme? Will my voice be phased in pride, in vain? Can my shoulders carry successes burdens again? Will my feet follow an open trail? Or will He lead me to drink from His Holy Grail The red wine of faith, and give strength to my soul? To make me worthy, to keep me whole. I pray for his guidance, "Thy will be done". Though I yearn for fulfillment, He, is the one To know when my hand shall be filled. To bless or deny me, I wait with voice still. Mute, I stand, before HIs wisdom's choice. His knowing answer will give me voice. I walk not alone, I wait His sign, "Thy will be done." My tomorrow is Thine. Laura Lea
Kitty was born and raised in northern Michigan, USA. Her mother, a teacher and reciter/writer of poetry, and grandmother, the first county librarian, instilled a love of words and imagery, and her father, an electrical contractor and water well driller, developed her interest in clean form and in nature. She was briefly a licensed practical nurse and worked for years in an office, where she was told her meeting minutes were "more interesting than being there" while still reporting what actually happened. She has lived in Detroit, Michigan; Las Vegas, Nevada; Los Angeles, California and Charlotte, North Carolina, and has returned once again to the northern woods and cold Michigan winters of her childhood. She lives in a little cottage in the woods with her husband, one small dog and two cats. She has one wonderful grown son. In addition to writing and reading, she quilts, crochets, watches tv, facebooks and laughs a lot. She is working on a collection of nature-based poems and on memorizing "In Flanders fields the poppies blow..." by Lt. Col. John McCrae. She also has a small perennial flower garden that flourishes with benevolent neglect. She loves words.
I used to write music, music was my passion, till I met a guy who wrote poetry and he inspired me to do it and since then I've fallen in love with it. Knowing im a writher I find peace in expressing myself in words. Unappreciated by my parents. Them including my little sister all being artist. Who don't care and won't ever care how I express myself.
I'm no where near perfect and I don't ever pretend to be . But I do have this passion for writing poems that helps me through any kind of time or moment that I have had or will have in my life . I share a smile but my poems tell my true feelings and I have no problem putting them down on paper . Most of my poems are about love . Even though I am only 21 , I have experienced many different levels and definitions of what I thought love was or is and what others made me think it was or is .
All my poems are dark and depressing. People like I say I had depression but I personally disagree depression isn't something you over come. It's always there. It haunts you. You just learn to deal with it better. Poetry is my escape. From my life, my family, my school, the world. I don't care if you think my poetry is to dark for my age. I can guarantee I'm not the typical 15 year old and I've been though much more than people in there whole life have. So if you like my writing let me know. If you don't, then I could careless(:
I am a poetry writer who love performing and making people happy. I always wanted to oneday performed my poetry on the ellen show because ellen makes me happy even when I have hard times. I wanted to make her happy. Besides all of that poetry is a way for me to express myself and I want to share my story and touch people heart. I wanted to share my poems through books, magazine. I know im not that good but I been through alot and poetry is my escape its also keeps me happy that I can make other people happy and be an inspiration to others.
I'm young and childish but I've begun to realize I can express myself through words in a different way than I can by just speaking. Even if people don't like my poems, I like them and that's all that matters. I don't plan on pursuing a career in poetry, but I do plan on trying to write a poem at least once a week to keep my "creative juices" flowing.
“The poet, therefore, is truly the thief of fire. He is responsible for humanity, for animals even; he will have to make sure his visions can be smelled, fondled, listened to; if what he brings back from beyond has form, he gives it form; if it has none, he gives it none. A language must be found…of the soul, for the soul and will include everything: perfumes, sounds colors, thought grappling with thought”
I am a homeschool junior. I spends most of my time doing school and talking with friends. My hobbies are volleyball and acting for the most part. My two favorite authors are John Green and Ted Dekker. Favorites shows OUAT, PLL, Revolution, Switched at Birth, and Downtown Abbey. I come from a big family. I'm the third of six. All girls. Poor dad right? Well that about sums it up:)
My name's Samantha. The reason I started to write poems was because I've been hurt many times; mentally, physically, and spiritually. I suffered five seizures and many head concussions. In addition, I have undergone brain surgery during the summer.To be able to express myself in my poems is the only way I can communicate to myself. I'm usually shy and anti-social; I lack self-confidence and remind myself that I'm a failure most times. Most of my poems consist of what I feel about myself and the world. They express feelings of pain, happiness, and deep thoughts of love. Hopefully, it makes you realize that life is worth living for. Recently, I've discovered that life is beautiful and that behind its vicious traits, there is hope.
