Hello and welcome. I don't know what brought you to my profile, but I do hope you enjoy my few pieces. I lack form and style, and could care less about using either in my poetry to be quite frank. I write my poetry from the heart (sorry for the -true- cliché), it is my escape, and I do hope that my words can reach others. But that's enough about me, take a look at a few of my poems if you so desire and send me critiques/commentary if you feel inclined to do so. Thanks for considering viewing my page as being worth your time.
Everything in life is a matter of perspective. What we think and feel are all temporary and fading shreds that fluctuate based on our perception. Poetry is the art of eloquently and passionately jotting down our attempts at understanding what we perceive and how it evolves. I can't say that everything I offer here is pleasant truthfully most of it is probably not. I write to release it helps me cope with what is going on around me. These are the peaks of my ever changing thoughts, feelings and experiences. I hope you are able to find something useful in them.

I was born in 1946 and started writing poetry when about 16 years old. In the 1970's I occasionally had poems published in a local newspaper while living in Delaware (belated thanks to editor E.A.Barrell!) and more recently (I offer no explanation for the hiatus other than "life in the way") have been posting poems and short essays at the Weather Underground blog site under the name "EarlB". Changes at that site are making my posts less visible, so I have begun transferring poems posted there over the past 6 years to this site. Because of the science/nature emphasis of the website, my poems over the past years have had a loose "nature" theme to them. Eventually, I hope to accumulate enough decent poems (and courage) to publish a small book of poems. Having them scrutinized by others in the field will help me improve technique.

I write for fun. It's been about a year since I started to write. I am always up for new ideas. I try to think outside of the box. I usually put myself in others shoes and that's where I get my ideas from. I have no idea how I got into writing but I really like it. I have been told I am good at it so I decided to put my work up for other people to read. Comments are welcome. Help me get better at what I do and I will do the same for you. Thanks!

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.
I have been writing poetry for over a decade as an amateur. I have always written on human nature, the natural world and psychology but have recently become increasingly interested in mixing in Sufism and Daoism into my works. Thus, there are notable influences from great philosophers, poets and sages of ancient China and Persia in my more recent works. I am a fusion of the Occidental and Eastern lands and my works reflect this along with a fusion of classical and contemporary poetry. Follow your heart!

Namaste, Although I am now residing in sunny Florida, I grew up in Queens, New York. I am the eldest daughter of Jamaican, West Indian immigrants. We were a lively family, five siblings altogether with plenty of love and joviality to go around. From early on, I loved creating stories. My brothers and sisters also keenly enjoyed listening to them. But, being the natural artist, I preferred to retreat into the silence of my room surrounded by my dolls, where we would embark on all sorts of imaginative and adventurous tales. My siblings would listen with their ears glued to the bedroom door, occasionally a giggle of delight escaped from the other side of the door. This interest in story telling gradually metamorphosed into the art of penning poetry. Over the years I have written many poems. The fascinating thing about the imaginative process that I've observed, is that there seems to be some sort of bridge that connects us to the creative source. This is similar to what I experienced in my childhood, a quiet space within, beyond me where creative ideas flow endlessly. On another note, I am also an artist. But, LOL, all of my paintings tell a story too. My work is a visual and poetic diary of my spiritual journey. From the highest peaks in the Himalayas to many of the sacred ashrams in holy India I have been blessed with the opportunity to journey through that divine land eleven times. My spiritual quest began on June 6, 1970 with the birth of my daughter. During the birth I had an amazing out-of-body-experience which catapulted me out of ordinary three dimensional awareness into an astounding, metaphysical reality which I know survives and surpasses death, misery, joy, materialism and all that is dualistic and worldly. A space of being in which Pure Love, Life and Light exists Eternally. This event inspired me to explore the intriguing inner realms of Self through Yoga, Meditation, Rosicrucianism and other spiritually laden paths. I have written two books. The first, "Sai Rapture, The Ecstatic Journey of a Modern Day Gopi " portrays my spiritual journey. The second book, "108 Bhakti Kisses, The Ecstatic Poetry of a Modern Day Gopi" is a garland of poems celebrating the divine in everything.
Hello silly internet, I'm Miran. By day, I manage the awesome USCA Support organization for a Seattle-based software company. By night, I am both a poet and a dreamer. I live in Kirkland, WA and have been writing poetry since I was a child. I lost my muse for a great many years, and have trying to rekindle its flame. Please enjoy this humble offering of poetry.

I like to think of myself as just another young lady hoping for the future. As a kid, I've always dreamed of becoming something huge and successful. At one point I wanted to become an Astronaut, then a Pediatrician, a movie director, a video game developer, etc... It wasn't until 5th grade that I would completely decide that I want to be famous for my art. I got picked up by CPS in 8th grade; December 17th, 2012. That day, I decided that I wanted to die... But I couldn't. I had my sister to look after. In 2013's summer, I would be placed in Vail to go to Cienega, make friends, and two months later, be forced out of Vail. Sometime in August, I was taken away from my sister and put with a new foster home. From that day and forward, I was also diagnosed with Chronic Depression and signs of suffering from Separation Anxiety. These conditions, when combined, which often happen, render in suicidal tendencies. I promised myself I would run away and hopefully get kidnapped and die on November 13th, 2013. But that same day, I would lay eyes on my biggest crush for the very first time. He had outgrown brown hair and was crying his eyes out. One thing lead to another, & on November 30th, 2013, he would stop in the middle of the hallway to kiss me. I finally found my reason to keep on living. My plans for the future are now completely different. My name is Liz. I am 16 years old. I want to become a designer in the artistic realm, become a published author, and spend most of my time at home to take care of a tiny version of myself and my fiance. There's not a special thing about me, but I can tell you exactly what does make me different: I believe in the power of love and what it can do for us. Some people claim to have seen Jesus. I claim to have seen true love.
I've always had a passion for writing stories and poems and them I got to realise I'm quite good at it, my main inspiration is my wiccan pathway, nature and the love of my life, my twin flame, Rev. Shaman Peter John Patrick. I started writing poems for my now ex husband when I lost both parents at an early age but it poetry was a way out for me, I used to lose myself in stories, loseing them although I miss them dearly allowed me to grow up quick, be more independent and strong and find my own way in life. I'm currently a support worker for adults with learning disabilities and love making a difference to others lives. Just recently I have been drawn to the pagan religion WICCA and I have been busy studying and living my life in the way of WICCA. I am on a journey of discovering my higher self and a lot of my inspiration comes from how following this pathway makes me feel, my love of nature and my new way of thinking. It has brought so much beauty to my life. At the moment I just want to help others and show others the new me and as a result of this I am now looking at putting my poem writing skills to the test and to the service of others by writing poems by request for people. You may find me a bit off the wall, un predictable and random, my sense of humour can be a bit dry so never take me seriously unless I'm being serious of course lol. Mad as a box of frogs but those fbrogs are very in touch with their senses, it facinates me to watch people and I can usually sense what that person is all about from just one look and a moment to feel their aura and I find I am usually right but it it never fails to amaze me, I guess we all have to have a few special skills as we are all individual. I'm friendly and down to earth, I am honest but sometimes brutally so and so if your not going to like an answer to something then don't ask the question but that's what makes us stronger, knowing our faults and having the ability to do something about them. I don't bite often by the way so come and say hello, I love hearing others views on things, obviously I have my own opinions but I will not try to force it upon others. I worship nature and celebrate the earth and seek to bring about positive changes in the way I live my life and using my knowledge to help others. For so long now I have always felt like the odd one out in all that I do and that there is something missing and now I have found it. Something that feels like I belong, something that feels like home and suits me in each and every way and I'm never going to look back all I have been through has led me onto this path, all lessons I have learnt so far and here I am, ready to take on life's challenges and lessons, ready to adapt and alter my life so I can finally evolve. I believe we should look after ourselves spiritually and physically, everything we go through we go through for a reason even having a body is lesson alone to see if we can look after these precious valuable vessels or if we just abuse them or let them go to waste. Push out minds, our bodies and our souls to be the very best they can be, I always count my blessings each day and give thanks for all I have, all I am and my memories. Without my memories and influences from people and things during my life I wouldn't be me, I don't believe others can make you who you are but they can certainly influence you and point you in the right direction. Never turn down an opportunity and live for each moment. I believe in treating others how I would want to be treated and if they losethat respect I believe the universe will deal with them in it's own fair way.We are always learning new things, we never stop learning about outselves we spend our time getting to know others but do we really know ourselves but should always be on the search for our true self, evolving with the lessons we learn and the knowledge we absorb. I believe each of us go through many life times and learning new lessons as we go and revisiting those lessons we failed to learn in a previous life. In life all that is truly ours is our soul and our memories and depending how advanced we are when it comes back to a new life I believe it's easier to restore those past life memories depending on the age and level of the soul, I believe I am an old soul in a young body I feel like I am not living in the right time but time doesn't exists anyway, and I have knowledge and sometimes write stuff that has come from no where and I do not recall learning it. I believe not even our bodies are our own, they are gifts from the gods so we can move around in certain ways, perceive the world in many different ways, we get to feel, taste, hear and smell all the beauty in the world. Pet peeves: People who don't have the time for others or think that they above everyone and being underestimated. So to finish on a positive note I've never been happier or felt more myself :)
I have been writing for as long as I can remember, although a good portion of my poetry has...disappeared...over the years. But I have managed to hold on to most of it, and although sometimes I want to burn some old love poems that no longer mean that much to me, my mom always told me to hold on to them anyway, so I held on to all of it. I have written on all types of subjects, though, life, love, friendship, nature, etc.... Now, goodness knows my poetry is not the best in the world, but as I have often been encouraged to share, I finally gave in, and will try to share some of what I consider to be my better works. Ty for reading.
I am a girl of 13 .... I love myself and my writing describes me... It is actually what I am at the moment... I note down the happenings in my life in the form of poems which I write... Hope you all like it too.... :) The other passion in me are dancing, drawing and listening music... these four things describes me truly... :)
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.
