a poem for poets

Check on your friends who are poets - we're not well

Lately, poetry has been pouring out of me, so much so that at times I can’t stop it. I think in poems; in fact I wrote a poem with that very title.

Today in a writers group, I expressed how I’ve been feeling a strong pull to share my poetry more, to make it real and tangible, like it’s not enough to just write it down: it needs to be seen, felt, remembered. And I want to connect with other poets, to meet people who understand that hunger, that need to pour words into the world and let them breathe.

My friends replied that that in itself is a poem, and suddenly the inspiration hit me and I rushed to capture the words.

Those close to me have become an endless source of inspiration, and my poems are my love letters to them.

Thank you to Adam, Liz and Christine for helping inspire this one 💗.

walk boldly,
