I've been writing all my life, since I could read and hold a pen. Its only been in the last couple of years that friends and writing colleagues have encouraged me to submit work for publication. Slowly I've been finding success in getting work recognised in magazines and journals and at spoken word events. I'll post here as regularly as I can, posting poems that are new that I like or have achieved some success. I hope the writing engenders some understanding and encouragement #poetatheart
I'm young but my eyes have lied naked to the world for too long, but i see , I live, gain wisdom, I write, and most of all I learn to love. what you see depicts the difference between you and me but to find the difference we must share. If nothing else my words be my gift to you and your response be your gift to me. And might I add I'm willing to receive.
My name is Kailey Nicolaou (Titanium-Heart), my friends call me Kailz or Elly. My work is about my life struggles that have occurred and about faith, hope, depression etc. I have been writing poems, novels and songs since I was young to express my feelings, darkest and lightest thoughts. A lot of my poems are about my daughter Summer Rose Nicolaou who died on 18th December 2008, this was one of my darkest times that I have ever had. I do not speak to many people about my issues, so poetry is my release. I truly hope you enjoy my poetry and follow me for more of my poems, if you do follow me, I will defiantly take the time to look at your work and follow your page as well. Thank you.
Hi there, I'm on Poeticous for the same reason that most of us are. I want people to experience the poems that flow through me. And I want to read that poems that flow through other people. I've read some poems on here that've made me cry and others that've made me laugh. I am delighted to read what other people have created and to share what I have created. Poetry is a language in and of itself. Nothing compares to reading a poem written by someone you don't even know and nodding your head in approval to every single line.
I grew up in the small town of North Fork, California. I graduated from California State University, Fresno in Spring, 2011 with a B.A. in Mass Communications. I completed two years of my television work experience by working for WQAD News 8 (Moline, IL) as a production assistant, Video editor, and Photographer. I'm currently back in North Fork and continuing work with Vendetta Pro Wrestling, while also writing poetry. Besides writing poetry and professional wrestling, I have filmed and edited a variety of other things. These include documentaries, weddings, graduations, commercials, short movies, and other sports. I hope my Poetry lights up someone's day or helps them in some other way, Because the world passes you by so fast that it could lead some people astray.
I was born in Alabama. Lived the first 9 years of my life in Florida, but then moved back to Alabama after my grandmother passed away to live in her house. I've been here ever since and I absolutely love it. I am married to a wonderful man who is my best friend. I'm surrounded by my family and friends and beautiful nature. I am a follower of Christ. I've always loved to write. When I was little, I would write my parents little notes and slide them underneath the door of whatever room they were in. I just loved to touch people through my words. Verbally and on paper. When I became a teenager, I started to write random poetry for fun, but also for school. I realized that it wasn't homework for me to write, it was a joy. My poetry streak really took off at the age of 15. Now, having recently turned 30, I have been through a lot in the past decade and have not written as much as i used to. Ups and downs, highs and lows, defeats and victories...you name it. I've felt a lot of different emotions and thought many thoughts. And I've composed quite a few poems and written many songs through it all. So, this is my place to share them with the world, to touch others through my words. I hope they mean something to you. Thank you.
Grew up on a little gem in the Caribbean, a tourist attraction the eyes never misses. There I had my education, primary through college. Life has always been a challenge but with God I keep climbing, and my dreams are slowing becoming. Writer, teacher, website owner of https://www.livingtoreachacme.com/ and more. Always loved poetry. I dreamed of poetry, tried but never thought I was good enough. Today, I am here, I stand only by the Grace of God. He is just so awesome!!!!
Born in North Carolina, moved around a lot throughout my life, dad was in the military. Moved to a small town in Northern Michigan when I was 8 years old. I'm the middle child with two other brothers, some call me a troublemaker, but I am just a wild and free being that cannot stand "normal"... I like to make the best of all situations, good or bad, I keep smiling BIG and stay optimistic through all my hardships and pursue all my dreams. Life is love and I embrace it. So, fuck back then I'm the shit right now!
I was born in 1997, I've had a weird life, being forced to grow up fast, going through situations that will be described in some of my poems. I'm currently in high school dealing with what life throws at me. No matter what happens to me I try to deal life with a smile on my face, but my poetry is where I let everything flow out.
i am just a girl. I am just another human trying to succeed and hoping that one day i will.

I hope that my writing helps each any everyone who chooses to read it, and i want to thank those of you who actually do wish to spend their time doing so.

I remember my mothers words before the first day of school in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. “it will be ok. This is a new year. Just be yourself” but back then I didn't have a self, No personality at all. and somewhere along the time that I started to get one, the phrase “just be yourself” started to die and what came as a replacement was “don't be this” “don't be like that” “don't wear this” “suck in your stomach like that” and so I began to write poetry.
My name is Adrian. I grew up in the Sierra Nevada's of California. I'm in my early 30s and still living the solo, single life. I'm a creative individual who expresses himself through writing, photography, and making short videos. Most of my writings have a Love or Life touch, but I consider my work to be a variety of different elements. I have been writing poems and short stories since High School and some through my college years. Since I'm one of the single men with no children at his side, My writing centers around what comes in my mind and the many things any single, loving individual would wish to have. Some of my writings can be light or dark, happy or sad, It depends on what my creative mood is. Many people inside my circle know very little of my writing, but know me for my contributions in photography and creative video ambitions. I chose to separate the writer and the creative photographer, because it would draw too much attention. If you have any questions or want to share writings, feel free.
Hello, my name is Georgia-lee but feel free to call me Gee. I'm 17 years old and I've been writing poetry from the age of 13. I love to write - it's a way of expressing who I am as a person, and the possibilities of these expressions are endless. I hope that you all enjoy my poetry and I'll endeavor to continue writing :)
Hello my name is Rosalind and I first started writing poetry in April of 2011. I am a born again Christian and have a wonderful relationship with father God I would have never imagined for one second that God had given me a gift for writing poems. It is a great opportunity to be sharing the word of god with you, I have been praying that the lord would provide funds for my poetry to be published. I first grew up with a mother had mental health problems and wasn't able to give me the love required to grow and develop into a stable young adult. My mum came from an very abusive background and most of her life she would show a pattern of inconsistency and this affected me badly most of my childhood days were very lonely and i had no friends and was bullied for most of my childhood days as a result my school work suffered and i was at the bottom class at school. When I was sixteen I became unwell and had a nervous breakdown I was in hospital for months and event I made a recovery some of my poetry speaks about these terrible moments in my life I went on to marry an abusive man and had 5 children by him and later had another broken relationship, evidently met a wonderful loving christian man we have been together for six years and just got married on the 16th Dec we happy together God can take the weak and to wonderful things i carried a lot of shame for most of my life. I found it difficult to make eye to eye contact because of it, but now God has taken my shame and brokenness and turned it round I do believe if I hadn't suffered all this pain both as a child and adult I would have definitely not been writing poetry today I do hope that my poems will change lives and turn them around. I have 4 sons and 3 daughters and 3 grandchildren and one on the way. I live in Scotland in the UK I am 55 nearly 56 I am so thrilled to be doing this work for the lord it is a pleasure.
