Awake
Against my will
My uncontrollable mind
Second guessing my life
Every choice open to
Ridicule
Through my open window
A lone bird’s chatter
This strange, calm click
Answers my insanity
With a call
For tea
Category: Modern Life
Looking at how we’re evolving culturally, and how humanity engages with itself, for good and for ill.
Awoke by my racing mind
Resisting waking
My chaotic mind distorts
Damaging my rest
My mind gets going, laden with fear and energy, heat building up in my scalp as the unfocused fears run unburdened by logic or balance. Unreasonable and irrational, disrupting my rest and my day.
Hope’s Inspiration
As I look forwards
Inspired for the future
I’m embracing hope
High School Begins
Looking towards the moon
The high school students inside
And now I adapt
When Night Falls
I love when night falls
As the air cools and light wanes
And peacefulness descends
Beginning Again
Starting new journeys
Refreshed with a new vision
Seeking to craft hope
I have a new vision for myself as a blogger: combining my poetry with a talent for administration and organization, mixing in a desire to motivate positive personal growth. I know there’s a place for a vision of positive growth and inspiration. Now I wonder about the vehicle. Currently, I’ve started a new website: www.ForwardFacing.net. Though perhaps I’ll reframe this site towards that end. I’m not too sure yet.Ā
Come over and let me know what you think. Advice and counsel are deeply appreciated. Or comment below. I would love to hear your thoughts.Ā
This Morning’s Haiku
Came out this morning
This new bloom to greet the day
Flamboyant display
Upping my writing game
As I seek focus
And to up my writing game
Seek to keep growing
I’m evaluating my work as a poet and blogger, considering what I want to do next. What kind of focus do I want, what kind of stuff I want write. So very much to consider, and I’m trying to have it mapped out and moving forward within a few weeks.
Focusing My Life
Seeking a focus
Answering “what to do next”
Where my brain is now
Spending some time and energy right trying to figure out what I want to be focusing my energy on now.
Nebula
Light flows through gas clouds
Moving through millenia
Stars birthed, then die
