A collection of poetry
Some humorous, some sad and some joyful, but always from the heart.
"One day a little mouse
Got tired of living in my house
Tired of staying on the ground

Days spent in isolated seclusion fingers tapping away at keys scratching on scraps of paper
Words stuffed away in drawers -dark corner of bedroom- Locked in a vacuum
Loneliness – gnaws at the soul
‘Odd, she's odd Never does anything Just stays in her room What does she even do in there? I don't know Odd’
But then Flash of light in dark cosmos
Random scrolling Leads to something beautiful
Discovery
Join our family Place for all poets No judgement; no egos No borders; no barriers
Words no longer locked in isolation Ideas shared in supportive community Embracing verses big and small
Lonely no more Odd no more.
*** I wrote this for Poets Pub's fourth year anniversary collection last year and as it it now their fifth I thought I would post it in here. I think it is even more fitting in this time of social isolation. This will be the last poem in the collection. It expresses exactly what deciding to post this first book here on Wattpad did for me. I am so grateful to everyone who reads, votes and comments and provides advice on my writing.
All the new poems that I write this year will be going in weekly Whimsy. I took almost a 2 month break from it, but I hope to be back to writing from now on. ;))
