An Inspirational Poem, The Graveyard of Hopes

I recently came up with this poem out of thin air. I got all situated to start a new chapter in a novel I am working on and got entirely sidetracked with creating a poem.

400 Followers!

I hit 400 followers yesterday! With that being said, I’ll open up a little bit more about myself by sharing a fun fact again. Fun fact: For most of my life, I’ve been told that I have a babyface, so I grew a goatee in my early twenties to shake that perception. I don’t see itContinue reading “400 Followers!”

A Haiku, The Earthquake

I figured I did a tornado haiku, so why not do an earthquake haiku, haha! The 2nd line of this has a double meaning when you think of it. The Earth has faults, as do we, and sometimes they collide.

A Poem, The Werewolf

And now I’m going to venture back into the macabre, dark poetry side for a moment. In this poem, I wrote about one of my favorite mythical beasts growing up, the werewolf.

A Haiku, The Cold

I let my dog outside this morning and stood on the porch looking over the frozen yard. The sun was poking through onto some parts of the yard melting the frozen dew. The melting happened so quick. I walked down my driveway and back to my porch, and it was gone. It was almost asContinue reading “A Haiku, The Cold”

A Poem, Inspirational Mentality

It’s been a little while since I’ve wrote an inspirational poem, so I wrote this last night. Go ahead, continue to sit thereThinking circles in your angry chairAnger toils as you dwell and glareErase that lugubrious face you wearWhat good does this hate give?What does your festering madness solve?Look upon thyself to forgiveDon’t wallow inContinue reading “A Poem, Inspirational Mentality”
