    Snowflakes

    Small,white ballerinas.In the air cold,divine.Is what snowflakes are. You play to pass the time.They gracefully move through the air.And land in a pile. White blanket,sun in the air.And they have a friendly smile.The air is their dance floor. Their destination is the...

    Breathe

    I was a skeptic,a Thomas with doubtfingers rubbing the scars of my own disbelief,thinking breath alone could not unravel my pain.How foolish I,with my sharp, cynical mind,believing only the white pillswould loosen the darkness inside me.I still swallow them,those...

    • For those that write it, there’s no other way of expression that feels as real. For those that read the greats and the subject they intended, it’s an awakening with each one read. Maybe over and over again. The subjects you mention are a testament to its power. Well done.

    • hello dearest Naajir I have created on alcohol I though my poems were better then it was a conduit to release me in poetry really I’ve written in all states… I would alwaus say to the powers that be my poetry halls are perfectly scribed and no onr gets in without the code to my inner sanctum…our flesh is one thing and our soul another this is some deep understanding of our poetiv spirits ❤️

    • sorry about spelling your name wrong I’m getting sleepy…

      • I got the gist of what you’re sayin, Brenda.
        No worries…we’re on the same page

        I get you…always

        Much respect

    • Powerfully penned, Naaj. Excellent write my friend. The life of a writer is a journey down many roads, some are kinder than others for sure. We are observers who chronicle our experiences, mistakes, heartbreaks, passions, faults, and personal wisdom in this life. I think the gig kinda requires it. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.

    • We have not yet met. Sir; I just stumbled into this piece — to my very great pleasure. You just gave me my best present for this Christmas, a beautiful description of the why of poetry. Thank you so much!

      • Big thx on the high compliment, FD.
        You left some compliment vibes indeed

        Much respect

    • Whatever the reason…that last stanza is full blown exclamation point punctuation. Without my quill, I couldn’t breathe. I know you get it

      • Indeed l do, Willow. Indeed I do. It’s so quintessential to the journey of the soul.

    • Some don’t realize it takes all of this to write good poetry or simply to write. It takes really living life to open tat pen and synch it with heart and mind. Tight

      • Diggin your insights, as always, bro.
        Thx or droppin in

        Much respect
