It’s been while! Hi WordPress!
I finally published a poetry zine titles, “Love Poems to Get You Through the Dating Apocalypse.” I’m not selling this one online at the moment. Going through the Artists Way and feeling inspired again already, even painted the other day.
Here’s a fable-poem I wrote which was inspired by the transformative magical powers of water:
The lonely girl weeps
By the crippling creek.
Her wounds run deep.
As she stares at her reflection
In river’s body, her tears
Fall into the stream,
Transforming into freshwater pearls- so rare, so precious,
Maintaining their purity.
Yet the girl is blind
To their beauty,
Only able to see the darkness beneath the foamy edges
So she retreats
Placing the pearls back
Into their clam, clasped
Until the comforts of water
Put them back into the shore
Like a pirate’s lost treasure,
Found and adored.
