I am a student at the University of Washington in my early twenties that is currently majoring in Japanese literature and political science. My interest in poetry started near the end of middle school. I typically like to write English poems inspired by Japanese poetic structures like the haiku or tanka. Otherwise I would describe my poetry as very freestyle. I am a Christian, my all-time favorite band is the Avett Brothers, and I'm deeply invested in Japanese pop culture.

the way I write is different , original I created this style and I call it ~Poetic dialect} enjoy !!! Im half Palestinian and half Russian I fall in love often with knowledge,not seduction love to me is about passion not repercussions every day I imagine loving ever lasting if was the case no more I could ask for !! My giving name is Samer i am a personal social visionary ,a self starter inventive business man. intuitive lucrative an crafty. systematically acting rationally,too respectful & very selective individual, I'm also ridiculed for being original, I got charisma no one can copy, yet with a potty mouth I have no proxy! Im sometimes seductive and foxy, never called a softy yet talkative enough to talk a court into a mockery, yet I completed competition to create A monopoly. I have faster self-control like a master. Patience similar to a burning candle! Not demanding with sincere actions but like a ninja I don't like to much attention if that's the case I'm creating a distracting for my quick extracting,I'm speedy with quick reaction when others Are harassing bit of a jokester, but yet a true leader!! Take a minute and observe how I obligate the opposite of toxic, im a true romantic with aspects too dynamic too dissect! Im not arrogant but reasonably confident, honestly loyalty matters most I promise....

I love to write and read. Make jewelry and sing, Car racing and motorcycles. Walks on the beach and horses. So much more. I love the country. Cotton fields. strawberies. Dressing up. I collect pictures.

“My art and poetry has been a well kept secret most of my life. It has been my best friend, my confidant, my security blanket, my therapy. Writing saved my life at a time when I was drowning in my own tears. I haven’t had any formal training. I just enjoy the arts. If I’m not painting I’m writing so, I think it’s safe to say that I’ve found my voice.”

I first started writing as an escapism from the ever decreasing comfort this world brought. But now I write because I love the freedom of it , of how you can Place whatever you think or feel onto a piece of paper and it takes whatever structure you wish and becomes a part of you.

Yolanda Castaño Pereira (Santiago de Compostela, La Coruña, España, 19 de abril de 1977), es una poetisa y crítica literaria española en lengua gallega. Se dio a conocer en el mundo de las letras en los años 1990 con poemas sueltos y pequeños poemarios por los que recibió diversos premios. Participó en el II Certamen Xuventude en 1994 y, un año después, publicó su primer poemario, "Elevar as pálpebras". En 1998 se editaron sus siguientes poemarios, "Delicia" y "Vivimos no ciclo das Erofanías", este último con una excelente acogida de público y de la crítica. Es esa época, Yolanda Castaño comienza a desarrollar una doble labor: escribir y publicar inicialmente en gallego para, después, traducirse a sí misma a la lengua castellana. Por ello, la mayoría de sus poemarios se encuentran en ambas lenguas.

Most of what I write or enjoy reading has a significant amount of word relationships and phrasing that evoke imagery. Whether it's prose on people or life or metered rhyming verses I find that the way they read should have not just metaphor, word plays, and all other typical "poetic" usage, but should also have a visual quality that is some what like painting or illustration. I'm not saying I do this well in my own writing but I'm merely stating what I am going for as an artist. Like anything creative, the more of yourself you put into it and dedicate time to, the better it ultimately becomes. The collection of poems that are subtitled Nest in the Black Tree is a series of concept pieces. The setting is in the Bad Lands (purgatory). When a "Soul" has been born it belongs to the Watch Tower(God). Once one is created the Clock Maker creates a "vessel"(a human body). The Time Keeper starts the Heart-Break-Timer and this would be the life one is given from begining, life, old age, and the end. When the timer runs out the soul must be delivered back to the Watch Tower, but to do so is tasked by the Sprinter(an angel). The Sprinter takes the soul across the Bad Lands running as God's Speed. The Bad Lands are filled by an evil race known as the Wretched. The Wretches are ruled by the war machine Brontus Singlairn. Brontus wants the souls the Sprinters carry to turn them from a life into a Wretch(demon). The Poems are free-verse prose left open to to the imagination of the reader and to the foundation of the story. "Space, Universe, Stars" are part of the idea of creating a setting, being that this is a place of the in "between", and also is a way to give a little more poetic depth. One day I would hope to get the "The Nest and the Black Tree" published. This is where you, the reader, comes in to give me comments and ideas for this evolving story. —Nicholas Gress —Saidwhattha

I am a blogger, poet and writer. I own wn Monterey Consulting which examines cost centers at mainly industrial accounts and attempts to reduce cost and get paid in the process. Sometimes, I look at natural gas well cash flows to determine private well owners are getting paid properly. I am good at negotiating and is how I make money consulting. I have a 9 year old son named Joseph. I am in the midst of a divorce. It's been painful for sure. I feel so bad for my son. He's strong and resilient- handling it great on the outside. I wonder what goes on in that little head of his. I worry about him sometimes that he is getting all his parental, moral and general life guidance. What's important in this world--what's not. Things dads say. Moms too. I love learning and researching new and sometimes Paranormal type phenomena. Sometimes this research gets me into trouble, both personally and professionally:it involves military grade weapons being remotely used against Americans as a social experiment. It involves emotion manipulation, increase in sex drives, pharmaceuticals, directed brainwashing targeted media custom designed for you. Sometimes they give you your own private line to call in on. Guessing. It involves the research and study of Electromagnetic Radiation as a naturally occurring energy in nature as well as man made ie electricity I am studying various relationships between EMR and other natural and man made variables. It involves several of the sciences including Astronomy, the laws of physics, chemistry and how the principles and properties of predictable data based on current accepted formulae can be Manipulated. "It's simply cause and effect". Tbc cause however is not always as pure as it seems. There are military personnel that are part of the civilian workforce. They cause accidents to your car, they enter your car and take things pertaining to a book I am writing. Cleaned off my entire c drive as well as stole the printed copy I had in a file drawer. WTF

My first memories of writing begin in elementary school when one teacher assigned our class to write a story. He made some very encouraging comments and a writer was born. I have stacks of poems and songs collected over the years. I recently began blogging and found this site and am happy to share some of my work here. I hope you will let me know when you are inspired or touched by what I share with you. You, my readers, inspire me.

This page contains some of my finest cringe-worthy work. Run...run while you still can. You have been warned. When I'm happy/sad/inspired/bored THIS is what happens.

Un arte que no ayuda a sanar, no es arte.

Un punto negro en un sueño oscuro.

I am a poet and writer in my spare time, it's what let's out all the darkness that taints my existence and keeps me sane. Enjoy :)

Give me an inch I will take a mile, former opussian loving my new poetry home

My name is Sydney and I love to write. My biggest dream is that some day everyone will be able to read my work, and I can inspire at least one person in this world in some way, shape or form. Creating a better world one poem at a time. Edgar Allan Poe fanatic.

Born in Liverpool I spent a lot of happy hours by the river I am happily married with a grown up family My family and two pet dogs are my world Severely disabled for some years I still manage to get around and do things I like

My name is Kamu, but names only stay important in the physical world. I am a writer, a poet, a photographer, and an artist. I am a person in this world, that just wants to contribute to all the creative energy in this world. Hoping that my poems will inspire and positively affect people, to let them wander into the deeper side of their life, to pull out the words from their thoughts, and creatively place them into reality. In my journey through life, I am constantly being awakened into someone else's imagination, and I share my thoughts and reflect upon theirs, being inspired to write from ideas that we have all put out together, sharing the images and emotions that come from our complex human minds. To me, questions are the most important thing of all. The art of questioning all and having theories and trying to fill out the unknown seems to be one of my greatest fascinations. I love thinking about things that stay a mystery in this world. It is what inspires me to write. Writing is a way for me to express in a way that is unavailable in any other form of art, or on a greater scale, life. I hope you enjoy what I am trying to express, and I hope to be inspired by your creativity as well. Thank you.

18 year old poet passionate about love and nature Biggest inspiration is Mary Oliver

I was born on Long Island and have lived here all my life. I love the suburban towns and the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. I am married, have 2 sons, 2 daughters-in-law, 3 stepchildren, and a total of 6 grandchildren. I write poetry, short fiction, personal essay, and memoir and am in the process of creating a style of mixed media art in which I can incorporate my poems. I enjoy nature walks, many forms of art, and I am obsessed with books and reading. I much prefer the solid feel of a real book though I do own and read books on my kindle e-reader. I also enjoy cooking and gardening. I consider myself an earthy and spiritual woman. I work full time as an Assistant Principal in a special education preschool. I love my work and the staff I supervise is amazing in the warmth and dedication. It's a pleasant and friendly place to spend many hours a day. That said, I eagerly await retirement when I can write full time. I blog at www.amarriageofpoetryandart.blogspot.com and at www.reneeiswriting.blogspot.com My first collection of poetry has just been published and is available at amazon.com. The title is: "I am My Mother's Only Poem."
