a heart’s empty nest
i remember her as a rare bird
she built a nest in my heart
and then… flew away

#poets and #poetrywriters: how often do you write a #poem that you think is good? Meaning, it reads true to what you tried to express/catch but also true to itself? Once a month? Once a year? And ho often do you write one at all to get to the good ones?
Quiet: A Sestina
I didn’t 100% stick to the rules of a sestina but rules are made to be broken … if you want to read the full poem, click the link!

Why not attempt some shameless self promo. I recently published a poetry book that I wrote and illustrated. I’d really appreciate it if people checked it out #books #bookscene #poetrywriters #authors #indieauthor

In 2019, I decided to challenge myself by inventing poetry forms. Since then, I have created (and co-created) six.
The Sixku came first.
Sixku are six-word, untitled poems based on the haiku, my favorite form. Each piece must be inspired by and contain a photograph.
Here are examples:

When I started writing poetry, I was mostly interested in free verse, with occasional rhyming schemes. As time went by, I settled for micro-poetry, with a focus on haiku. From there, I went on to create my own poetry form.
Now, I (very) occasionally pen a long piece. "There Is a Love" is the latest one. It wrote itself.
