Disappearing Ink
You pen beautiful poems,
revealing hurts, worries,
secret desires of your soul.
Dancing on high wires,
creating cosmic alchemy,
then your words
are gone in a blink.
You must be using
disappearing ink!

What is Poetry?
Poetry is my
drug of choice,
calming rain,
rays of sunshine.
an antidote
to suffering,
waltzing words
on lonely nights,
my lost lover
whispering
in my ear,
release,
of fear,
wind beneath
birds in flight,
illuminating
light,
immortality...

Willpower and Discipline
Willpower and discipline,
have long been two of the
most despised words in the
english language to me.
What character flaw prevents

A Poem a Day
Oh NaPoWriMo
how you challenge me.

makes no difference
to me.
Just do what you can
with what you've got
and see how happy
you will be!

Write Anyway
So it's cliche,
write anyway.
So it's not
gramatically correct,
write anyway.
So it doesn't rhyme,
write anyway.
Don't let judgmental
"experts" distort
your perception
of poetry
or silence
the part of
your soul that
longs to make
sense of life.
Just write
any way!
