Listen, I know poetry seems like super big, scary and daunting section that's always shoved in the very back of the library with deteriorating shelving and a couple dust bunnies floating by like tumbleweeds... but, honestly, that's not what poetry actually is! Poetry is about a "literary work in which special intensity is given to …

How to Write Your First (Or Millionth) Poem
Hey y'all! So, today, I'm giving you a guided writing post that's going to take a very basic, beginner-friendly approach to... (drum roll, although you probably already read the blog title...) writing poems! Ah, poetry... you know, the thing some of us love, some of us hate, some of us love to hate, and some …

…Flashback Friday?
So, guys, I was cleaning/reorganizing my room for the billionth time the other night (it's actually a type of stress reliever for me, believe it or not)... and I stumbled upon some things that I, deep down, knew that I had but, neither deeply nor superficially, really remembered. Okay... they're my old "song" notebooks. And …
Introducing… “For Us”.
First, we had The Quiet Diaries. Then, we had the Inquiry Entries. And now, I'm starting us up with a new poetry series, called "For Us". This series is a little bit different than anything I've done before, but I'm pretty excited about sharing it with y'all! So, here's the rundown... Each segment, I guess, …
“Poems in progress…”
That's the name of a new document I currently have stowed away under my writing folder on my MacBook. Well, actually, it's not even really new. I actually started it about... oh, gosh, over a year or... maybe even two now... but, anyway, I abandoned it pretty soon after starting and only now am really …
I just can’t get over it.
(Guys, this is my first-ish prose poem! So... comment with thoughts???) I just can't get over it. And I know you don't know what 'it' is, but I do, and I already know it won't matter to you, anyway. And, no, I'm not talking about the sequel to the "It" movie franchise that just premiered …
A raaaandom poem
So, I wrote this, apparently, two months ago at 3 in the morning. I have nothing else to say. Enjoy! Daydreams Litter the floor Everything here Wasn't before All that I have Is all that I was And it's over because Emotion goes last Roads On the walls Sense of direction Still feeling lost All …
INTRODUCING… The Inquiry Entries!
Here it is, the big announcement we've all been waiting for... Remember The Quiet Diaries from way back when? Probably not, but so you can catch up with me here, The Quiet Diaries was a collection of sorts for random lines of "poetry" that came to my head. These lines were meant too... kind of provoke …
“Craft a cliché poem”
And so I did. This poem was yet another one made for that good ol' creative writing class, and the prompt goes... well, craft a cliché poem! Specifically, I was asked to come up with a long list of clichés and then put them together in "fresh, surprising, unexpected ways". Here's what I came up …
I wrote another poem.
(For my creative writing class.) So, for my first big writing project in my new writing class, I had to answer 3 poetry prompts with... well, 3 original poems. My favorite, I think, is this one... the second one. And the prompt for it was, generally, something like this... Write a poem that is a …
