when i read your words
my soul felt understood.
loved.
cherished.
my heart then squeezed these words out of me.
syllable after syllable.
scared all the while.
for to say these things is wrong.
thank you.
for when i was emotionally starved
your words nourished me.
when i was thirsty
you provided milk and honey.
so when i gained strength i lifted my head towards the sun
alongside the blooming flowers.
and i know there are hundreds of thousands
that say the same.
but when you wrote for the least of us
you wrote for me
Poem: "Situated On the Far Side of Pinhook." Note: The inspiration for this poem arrived when I was sitting in a now-defunct, local bar waiting for an open mic to begin, whereby I was focused on a particular spot therein that appeared so lifeless, a prelude before the excitement happened. #poem #poetry #poetrylovers #poetryisnotdead #poetrycommunity #igpoetry #poetryismytherapy #poetscorner #poetryofinsta #poetrychallenge #poetrycommunityofinstagram #poetrylover #dailypoem #ipoet #poetrygram #poembydefinition #poetrypost #writing #literature #spilledink #poetryig #poetryisart #poetry_addicts #writingcommunity #poetsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BoqcoSSBXf6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kldcfcnx7oj2

When it comes to my involvement inside of the fandom, I would say that I am not very involved. I love to write and I love poetry but when it comes to openly sharing my work on online platforms or just in general I do not choose to do so. Not because I am scared of what others might think but just because I enjoy keeping it to myself. I guess in a way I participate in my fandom by continuing to do what I love. By watching and reading others peoples work I am encouraged to keep perfecting my craft and hone in on my skill. I do not feel pressured to participate in my fandom or to do different activities within the fandom because poetry is not something you can force. It has to come naturally. You can read someone else鈥檚 work and be inspired to write but if you sit down and nothing comes out then no one can force you to write. That is something that I genuinely love about the art of poetry is that nothing inside of it is forced. Either it comes naturally or it does not come. You can sit down and make yourself muster up something but it will not be authentic and genuine artwork.
It's not a minor but my substitute occupation, and the pay is not like any other. #poetry #poetrylovers #poetrypost #poembydefinition #poetryismytherapy #poetryofinsta #poetrychallenge #gif #giphy #poetryislife #poetryverses #poetrycommunityofinstagram #poetryfordays #poetryig #poetrycommunityofig #poetryideas #poetryisnotdead #poetrygram #poetryofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BoqZDjbBOEB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hivew24syaoa
