My First Words 

Anthony1 Comment

The first words 

My very first lune of

the new year.

–

I contemplate deeply

Before writing down initial words

Stream of consciousness.

–

Slow at first

Like any poem I write

I speed up.

–

Next I know

Something is working here now

Just keep going.

–

Before too long

A lune series is born

First of 2025…

Write Something

When life is feeling maxed, write something 

When all goes too fast, write something.

When life need to be fixed, write something 

When you hear your favorite mix, write something.

–

When you’re feeling swell, write something

When it all goes to hell, write something.

–

When you learn hard truths, write something 

When they’re laughing at you, write something.

–

When you want to quit, write something 

When you have to admit, write something.

–

When life isn’t so fun, write something 

When cutoff from everyone, write something.

–

When you won’t comply, write something 

When you need to cry, write something.

–

When you in your phone, write something 

When you’re all alone, write something…

Feelings, The Poet’s Muse

Anthony2 Comments
Art: Poet And Muse – By Valentine Tusai

Love and heartbreak are my muse

In my writings and my truths.

–

To feel those extremes and feel them hard

And put them in words with careful regard.

–

To share the purest and darkest of feelings

With life’s happiest and saddest dealings.

–

Is a privilege and not a curse

Processing emotions and not feeling worse.

–

Finding common ground with all around

Relating your words in your blog abound.

–

I keep writing, day and night

Trying to get the rhythms, right.

–

And when I want to break my norm

I try out new poetic forms.

–

I like the technical aspects that apply

Just fitting in words and figuring out why.

–

In the end when it’s time to share,

I make my edits and choose with care.

–

Lest my poetry goes off the rail

Which would be an epic fail…
