    Love Sonnet LXXXI

    Love Sonnet LXXXI   I watch the full moon rise outside my window, its beams slowly reflect across your naked skin.   You stir some, sigh, as my fingers caress gently patterns across your breasts. Yaraa, let me love you like the   gently rains of Springtime as it plays upon...

    April Poetry #5

    April 5 is just another day
    in a year already a fourth
    of its life gone. But this day
    has no song, unless you want
    to count the rhythm and noise
    of imperial bombs sent by
    the “shining light on top of
    the hill”, who has always promised
    the grave and the slave. April 5,
    just another day where they
    say all this hor…Read More

    • I was thinking this morning about that phrase march to the beat of your own drum. But the noise of the world is so loud these days it’s difficult to hear it. Those last lines…damn!

    Still Me

      Let me introduce myself. I’m Lizz.   Not a brand. Not a filtered highlight. Not a polished biography written for someone else’s approval.   Just Beth.   Friendly in a world that rewards cold.

    • Well, you have laid it all out and if anyone had any questions, they need to read this again. Nicely put.

    • Thanks 😊

    • Unapologetically penned, Lizz. This is a powerful and honest write my friend. We all have ups and downs in our journey as writers, taking accountability and living to tell the story is what keeps us putting pen to paper. That’s just my opinion though. Excellent work here. Appreciate you.

    • Very cool. It places you in front of a crowd, that you are not fearful of. I enjoy self-empowering writes. it isn’t egotistical, it’s affirmation of your worth. Well done.

    • It’s plain to see you’re a serious and articulate writer. You’re able to express yourself astutely and with no reserves. I envy your unapologetic courage. Great write here.

    • Thanks. I’ve been writing as a young teen, and as a teen I had no one to talk to, to express myself so I turned to poetry it was the only way for me to get things out. Though through time I’ve become better at my poetry. And I keep it as real as possible.
