This time, with this new piece of art, I will attempt to tug at readers' heartstrings by writing experimental poetry inspired by the greatest hits from different pop artists throughout history. These are universal melodies that anyone can relate to and be uplifted by. The process begins when the poet listens to a song repeatedly until a state of ecstasy takes over the mind and soul, transforming it into something magical - a sensation that only a poet with a deep connection to music can convey. I am such a poet, a goddess of the secret messages hidden between the lines of the most enchanting melodies of our time. I hope we can continue to connect with each other. PEACE and LOVE to the world. Author's Note 📝 The next step is to download Spotify! I already have. Just kidding! Enjoy, and remember that voting is compulsory!

I naturally exerted power over them, and they elected me as class representative time and time again. At home, a baseball bat reminded me to obey my mum every time I tried to prove her wrong. Why was it so hard to see that one plus one equals two? Being beaten and isolated in a sardine can for long periods of time led me to the world of words in the thesaurus to help me cope with my difficult life. However, I no longer recognise the person I have become....... Author's Note 📝 All of my writing and photography is original.

How to capture it all? I was no photographer My paint brushes, I have retired And words simply do not belong On a cover The same way they fit In my mouth, or march along the surface Of these pages. How to capture it all? The sounds, the smells, the blurring lights as life rushes past me. The things I feel but have not found reflected around me. The images that Undoubtedly Would stop the carbon copy of myself And urge, "Read me." How to capture it all? But some questions and answers Like some estranged partners Walk on opposite sides of the road. So I draw one line to the next Connecting the right And what's left of the unknown Into the semblance of a city. I scrawl above, Cement City. - Sticker made by @Pipwusa. 🥇 First Place in Poetry - Sunflower Awards 3.0 🥉 Third Place in Poetry - Borderverse Awards Season 2
