Ernest Hemingway (Rules of Writing) My Own Hemingway Poem
Ernest Hemingway
Hemingway was quite an interesting man. He had a certain way of writing; a certain set up. Back then he once states,"The writers job is to tell the truth." everytime he was stuck while writing he would remind himself of this. Start off with the truest sentence you know, it could be anything. Use short sentences and short paragraphs but have multiple sections, don't just let it ...

Psychology and Poetry in the Same Bed
There's many things behind poetry that is still a mystery today. Why does it make us feel a certain way when certain words are placed together? Is it that it's relatable? Nostalgic? Reassuring? I know many people that don't enjoy poetry and many that do. Why is that? Are those that dislike it close-minded? Does it show they haven't been through what the poem is implying, therefore they can't relat...

Ashes in a Wilderness
To you, readers, I say
I am no writer -
these words
placed themselves
on my page
to tell a story
To you, writers, I cry
I am no chronicler -
these tales
spun their web
through my mind
to make a memory
To you, poets, I sing
I am no rhymer -
these lines
etched their pattern
on my paper
to form a psalm
To you, who come, I whisper

Open Your Eyes to See
Let me take you by the hand
And bring you on a journey to a different land
Where all is new with exciting news
A mind bending trick
Made to awaken you in time.
Thoughts provoked while you stare at the land
Bringing you closer to the mighty plan
It's nothing to do with a lonely man
Something spouted to you from a deceitful plan.
Read beyond what the education s...

Contradictions
I care about fitness enough to sign up for Zumba classes on Mondays
But not enough to attend them regularly.
I care about my looks enough to spend too much on make-up
But not enough to spend time putting it on properly.
I care about my weight enough to hurl messages of hate at the mirror in the morning
But not enough to resist the packet of biscuits late at night.
I care about my...

He's So Peaceful When He Sleep's
{He's So Peaceful When He Sleep's}
It might be weird that I do watch my loving man sleep because it's absolutely adorable to me
and when he lays so peacefully still with his arm around my waist and as I lay beside of him memorizing every line, every wrinkle, every freckle, everything on his face
so hopefully I will never forget his face due to chiari because it caus...

Process
what spills onto the page
falls from my mind:
it tells of what is there
it tastes of my thoughts
so they are spread here with care
as verse
the page becomes
my mind bared

Nerves
It’s almost as if you’ve been
reborn.
The moment
you can take a breath
without feeling yourself
drowning.
Cement is no longer
running through your veins
slowing every movement,
because now it is only gravel.
Your head is now
not filled with buzzing static,
and instead
the distant sound of
electric storm clouds.
Enraged fire
replaces the
sleeping snow.
You are finally se...

I Am Not Okay
{I Am Not Okay}
I am not okay
I am not happy
I am not sure if I want my life to continue on living this freaking nightmare
I am not beautiful
I am the one everyone calls the ugly duckling
I am a incurable plagued person
I am depression
I am suicidal
I am a lost cause
I am hurt
I am pain
I am sickness
I am a invisible person that no one attends to see beyond the sick...

Why~Why Did I
{Why~Why Did I}
Why did I love you
Why did I care for you so much
Why did I you break my heart into for
Why did you promise me the world and to be your forever queen and all I got was these washed out bull shit lies and dreams from you that rings out loud inside of my head that I wish was freaking dead
Why~Why did I
Why did you leave me in this unforgettable heartache to dro...

Diary Of The Southern Queen Entry #49 (Doobie-Doobie)
(Doobie-Doobie)
When the doobie-doobie drugs don't work any more girl you are just a fool if you think love don't hurt because hot damn it does that's why one more blow to sniff until I cannot breathe
And when the doobie-doobie-doobie don't work any more as one more sniff and one more puff and popping one mor...

Diary Of The Southern Queen Entry #48 (His Fine Self)
His fine self
Had my heart bumping, thumping to the never ending thirst of his endless muscles that was rippling like the ocean waters beneath our feet touching every base of my body that had me longing for you to touch me all over my body because it aches for you and do you wanna reach for the never ending thirst fo...

The Poet's Problem
Impulse is the best linguist
So Mr Thoreau thought
And often what is written here
Is spoiled by what is later brought
Yet
All I write and sometimes rhyme
Falls on the page untaught
So needs some tender love and care
Before you see it as you ought
So
The lines you read from any page
Should by your ear be caught
As best words ordered to flow well
With...
