original works Christine I Steeves-Speakman |
Personal
My words my own
You don’t like or you don’t understand
If I write them who will see them
How will I know
That I’m not alone
Happy, sad, silly, or dark
Acceptance of my mood or submission to yours
Confusion
Why write
Why breathe
Expression alone
A whisper, a scream
Silence smiles

What is Poetry Starts?
…poems and prose from now back to teen years
…remembering a first writing love
…pumping the creative well yet again
…silencing the internal critic
Silencing the internal critic. That can be the hardest part.
Yup, have a strong dislike for that critic…thanks for coming by
