an untitled poem :3

The moon phase shifts

As clouds begin to drift

Look up to see the cynical silhouette

Dancing over a sickly sky

Singing with the breath of a corpse 

And the beauty of a memory once forgotten

What are you, strange thing?

I see your shape but its nature remains undiscovered

Perplexing as divinity itself

As it pulls in a kind of look I never knew I had

Your pirouette a remnant of something painful.

The moon is your spotlight 

So do you what you must, 

And dance

probably a total of two people are going to see this (if I'm lucky) but I want to say that I'm really thankful for the positive reception on my beginner poet tips. I moved over to Tumblr because I so desperately want to start building a platform to share my writing and it's amazing that almost 100 people looked at some tips I wrote down on my notes app and saw them as valuable. even if it was only in a small way.

Tips for newer poets!

read poetry! read good poetry, read bad poetry, read poetry about stuff you like and don't like, topics you're familiar with, and ESPECIALLY stuff you're not familiar with. just read.

be specific in general, you want your poem to feel personal while also being memorable. adding some specificity can help with both. I feel like a good way to achieve this is to frame the ideas of your poem in a narrative/story. this also includes avoiding cliches. in most mediums cliches can help effectively establish certain pieces of information and possibly be fun. but using cliches can often subtract from the uniqueness of your writing.

don't directly state your feelings. this one I feel like a lot of new poets struggle with at first. instead of directly stating an emotion, you can convey the same information through other means, like atmosphere and tone. this also helps you deliver an emotional impact. it's hard to feel sad when the writer is telling you that the situation is sad.

be intentional don't make choices "just because." poetry is a very dense medium, and every word, every line break, and every use of punctuation should have a reasoning behind it. sometimes I find that a single line or word in a poem I write can completely contradict everything else I established. sometimes there isn't a concrete explanation for a choice and it's mostly meant to create or add to some kind of vague feeling, and that's okay. As long as you know why you made that choice, it's intentional. 5. ignore any of the rules if you feel like it doesn't work for your writing. this is the golden rule of all writing. often when I give a piece of advice about writing people give highly specific examples where it might not apply. but the truth is there are no hard rules of writing, just guidelines. if it works, it works. if it doesn't, it doesn't.

I am 10. I ask my dad to write down his letters on a piece of paper I thrust into his face. He looks at me oddly, he complies. I am 10. And my hands ache and my fingers are sore, and the page has torn and ripped, yet I continue. My pencil has started to shake, it's lead has long blunted, and a fresh shaving of graphite covers the faded one beneath it, the once sharp curve of the 'B' disappearing under the layers atop it. I am 10. And I wish my dad shared more than just blood with me.

take this poem fuckass

Laughter laced with switchblades, malice with intent.

Smile for your sacrifice, a seraph can’t repent.

Your wings are made of steel 

That burn and blaze with life.

Weaponized euphoria 

Pride in joys strife.

So smile,

sweet seraph

The war has just begun.
