I'm a highly intelligent, articulate and well-educated human being with an intuitive but enterprising sense of responsibility and a strong moral compass that instinctively demarcates what's right and wrong. Trust, confidentiality and having the courage, regardless of what I do, to formulate and stand by my own personal convictions are key aspects of my life and, unsurprisingly, are also principal characteristics I attach great importance to and naturally expect from those who want to play a meaningful role in my life. I don't suffer fools gladly, in fact not at all and most definitely haven’t got any interest in or time for egotists, time-wasters, attention seekers or the narcissistic. Furthermore, I’m an adult and in my private and professional lives prefer to deal with genuine adults, so anyone who wants to act childishly and thinks they can have any kind of relationship with me, then you’re wrong! And my advice to you in that regard is to go and enrol in a kindergarten as you'll possibly have better luck there.

Love is the essence of pure thought. There is nowhere that this thought is not. I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma, just beyond the outskirts of several gypsum plateaus, miles of desert sand and vast horizons. I would go out into fields of sunflowers with my pen and paper, watching the currents of wind moving through miles and miles of wheat to write about the lucid imagery I would see when I closed my eyes, the experiences of coming out in a conservative community and finding my way as an artist in a place that did not nurture the arts. Words have always been my primary way to sort out my experiences into streams of consciousness that act as a form of self-discovery. Called by the overwhelming pull to follow my dreams, I relocated to the Catskills to follow my passions and put every idea into motion. I am currently working on several video projects, performances in several venues, live music, Sparkle Poetic radio ads, and many new things that you can keep up with on my website below. Welcome to the realm of words. Love is real. www.sparklepoetics.com

Alexis karpouzos was born in Athens on April 9, 1967, after attending philosophy and social studies courses at the Athens School of Philosophy and political science courses at the Athens Law School, he continued his studies in psychoanalysis and the psychology of learning. In 1998 founded the international center of learning, research and culture, a wisdom forum for studying issues of science and society in an integral way. He has been a visioner in the development of post-history sense of cosmic unity and the integral consciousness. The poetic thought of Alexis karpouzos is a expressions of soul's inner experiences, expression of universality. The inspiring visual images and the symbolic use of language offer a description of elevating experiences of consciousness, a glimpse of higher worlds. His philosophy speak to the human experience from a universal perspective, transcending all religions, cultural and national boundaries. Using vivid images and a direct language that speaks to the heart, his philosophy evokes a sense of deep communication with the collective unconscious, a sense of connection to all the creatures of the world, compassion for others, admiration for the beauty of nature, reverence for all life, and an abiding faith in the invisible touch of world. Alexis karpouzos thoughts are often terse and paradoxical, challenging us to to break out of the box of limiting beliefs and see things from a new perspective. Above all, Alexis karpouzos continually calls to us to wake up and explore the mysteries within our own selves, i.e. the mysteries of universe.

L'autore nasce a Monaco di Baviera ( Germania) il 3 luglio del 1987, da genitori calabresi e , dopo un'infanzia trascorsa fra l'Italia e la Baviera , nel 1994 la sua esistenza si stabilizza definitivamente in Calabria, dove compirà gli studi della propria formazione. All'età di 8/9 anni inizia a mostrare una particolare predilezione per l'arte figurativa ( il fumetto ) e successivamente nei primi anni dell'adolescenza , tale interesse si sposta su un altro canale espressivo, ovvero la scrittura e nella fattispecie la poesia, tant'è che nel 2019 pubblica una raccolta di poesie dal titolo " Pane al pane, vino al vino"©con una piccola casa editrice locale, contenente componimenti scritti fra il 2003 ed il 2018. Nel periodo pre- pandemia mette in ordine altri componimenti, racchiudendoli in una raccolta dal titolo "Crisalidi, amnesie di un giorno all'imbrunire"©; scritti che appariranno anche in ordine sparso su diverse antologie e su diverse riviste dedicate alla poesia. Negli anni, partecipa a numerosi concorsi di poesia , tant'è che in uno di questi, precisamente nel 2015 ( al Poetry slam Murazzi) è fra i dieci finalisti a livello regionale ( Calabria). Consegue presso l'Unical , nel 2013 la Laurea in Scienze dell'Educazione. Attualmente vive ancora nella casa in campagna, del paesino calabro della provincia di Cosenza e, a tutt'oggi l'autore trova la linfa necessaria per vivere nella potenza evocativa dell'arte e della poesia ; a suo modo di vedere "Madre rigenerante"dalle capacità curative.

I can’t promise that you’ll find yourself in these pages. Maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of yourself in a word or two. See yourself passing by between the lines. You’ll know you’re not alone. Neither am I

I do my best work at night. in the darkness you can see my light. It shines from within and unleashes my creativity.

I write bad, silly poems.

When life gives you lemons, just swim in some lemonade. Lemon is an eclectic source of human nature. LEMON is a collection of my favorite poems that I wrote in 2021 with the inclusion of six new poems. Link: https://w.tt/3nxgR1x Artwork by FXAQ27 phrchy

Hey, it's Khushi here, and this is my new blog "she writes". Writing endlessly, and scribbling away in journals has always been a part of my daily routine. Imagination and chai are the two things I thrive upon, and turning my musings into a blog has been on my list foreverr. So, join me on a journey through the labyrinth of language, where every verse is a portal to worlds unknown, where I'll write about relatable melancholic musings and some interesting?? Well you'll see!

I was born in Oriental Mindoro, a province in the Philippines. We didn't have many neighbors, I only had few close friends despite my being quite approachable. I used to like the idea of being famous by performing onstage, having the typical talents that my classmates had -- like singing and dancing -- but I wasn't good at both. And so, I grew up into a very introverted person. I rarely speak; although when I do, some of my friends think that my words are always full of sense and humor. But their words didn't help much in my personality development, so, I decided to search for other talents that I could possibly have. That's when I decided to write things (weird or extraordinary, sometimes stupid) random things just popping up inside my head. Some people liked my writings-- my teachers, classmates, friends and my high school crush :). I started reading other people's writings, too, so I could learn more, impress those people some more (possibly gain confidence from their praises). Then I learned how to write poems and how amazing it is to be able to write one's thoughts in verses. I wrote some, and they had been published in our school paper back in high school. But, I didn't take creative writing or anything alike as my course for college. I had to follow what my dad wanted me to take-- Accountancy (it's quite easy to find a job here in the Philippines if you are an accounting graduate, and I badly need a good job to help my poor family). I'm doing fine, but not as fine as I would have been if I had taken creative writing. So, I tried to find a place where I could post my poems and possibly have some people to read them, then, I found this site and I hope it'll be a good refuge for me when I need to let out words that I can't let out with accounting. :) ETA: I have not been in this site for seven years. Yes, seven long years. I actually forgot I had this account (my cousin accidentally found it after searching my name on Ecosia). Lol. The cringe I feel about the things I said here... Beyond explanation. I won't delete them though. It's kinda nostalgic. Just in case anyone may find it interesting, in the last seven years, I have become a CPA, a financial analyst, an even worse introvert, BUT I have not lost my love for poetry. I haven't written much in years, but I think I'd like to give it a try once more.

spazi vuoti e mare dentro.

My inspiration comes from my emotions real life experiences I am new to dark poetry but I find my imagination is dark and sinister I hope you enjoy the depths of my personal hell.

There are three things that I wish to bring out in my readers. And I feel that all three are of equal importance. They are: laughter, tears, and vomit. Those three things can cleanse the body, mind, and spirit. Clean writing is what it's all about. Stay clean and read. Write on!

Soy un joven apasionado de la vida, la poesía y el aprendizaje continúo Al igual que muchos, viví gran parte de mi infancia y adolescencia en el victimismo, e impotencia por lo que ocurría, yo creía no tener control, la lectura y escritura me ayudó demasiado a mejorar varios aspectos de mi personalidad. Mi deseo es extraer todo lo posible en el tiempo que este con vida, escribir con más realismo y profundizar en lo bueno y malo de nuestros días, inspirarme en los autores que tanto me han dado fuerzas con sus escritos, y hacer lo mismo por alguien más con los míos. En mí, expresarme es una necesitad latente. Con este blog lucharé por personas como tú o como yo, que en las letras encuentran un refugio y motivación para día con día, dar lo mejor de sí mismo.

American poet, lyricist, scriptwriter, activist and entrepreneur Kiana Lyles is the author of My Name Ain't Baby poems. She is a Maryland native that began writing poetry at the age of 8 years old after the sudden death of her father she found a peace of mind through poetry. Feeling liberated through her discovery of word play and rhyme, poetry became her diary. "Poetry gave me a voice when I believed my voice was too little to be heard," she says. Whenever I wrote a poem, short story or lyric I got an opportunity to express myself, and escape reality. I would close my eyes and picture myself somewhere outside the lower- class neighborhood where I was raised, poetry saved me she says, without it I don't know who or where I would be". Today her poems celebrate the beauty of black women and their constant struggle of acceptance for accomplishments rather than their bodies. Yet, playful, bold and unapologetic her poems get at the heart of what plagues many women today. Kiana Lyles is a womanist that creates content that celebrates women empowerment. She encourages all women to love themselves unapologetically and to be confident within their own skin. Her goal is to empower generations of women to continue to be multidimensional and defy today’s stereotypes of women in entertainment, workplace, politics and education.

Good day. How you holding up?! I am 25 years old and living in a big city with bigger dreams. I have always found writing to be the most sophisticated way to express one's innermost turmoil. Currently, I'm pursuing a career in finance while being in the process of earning my CHARTERED ACCOUNTACY degree. As an introvert, I have always found solace and friends with words and books. I began writing when I was 12 years old and I have not stopped since. However, this will be the first time that anyone but myself will have access to my prose, poetry or any other writing material. Thank you. Love, Sharayu
