A collection of love poems simple as.

The grey areas of what feels good and what's right

I wrote this at the age of 17 as a tribute to Allen Ginsberg's Howl

"If you were a classic, you'd be a terrible one." Derrek retorted, seeming to pull inspiration for the jab from the aged novels around them. Meria snorted, rolling her eyes. "That's every classic." ||Ranked #20 in WKLYPrompts|| ||Ranked #99 in Chicklit|| || Winner of the Week 11 Weekly Prompt on Chicklit || ||♥ Please vote and comment if you enjoyed this!|| ||Cover by @sarcastics||

Poems by an Italian guy who moved to Dublin. Cheap loves, cheap beers, bad jobs. And fights. Bukowski would have probably been disappointed. But you always were, Hank, weren't you?

Mixing up a section of Howl by Allen Ginsberg. Just a small section of the poem and changing it up to change the story up.

A collection of longer works. A lot of stream-of-consciousness writing

Idk what this is I was just bored in quarantine and wanted something to do!!!!!

Poems about growing up, flaws, facing yourself, family, sexuality, and other important aspects of life.

by Allen Ginsberg

excerpts from my first poetry collection, due out by the beginning of the year. it's going through processes of getting published as of now so i figured i'd post some excerpts here to see interest.

"Howl" is a poem written by Allen Ginsberg in 1955, published as part of his 1956 collection of poetry titled Howl and Other Poems, and dedicated to Carl Solomon. Ginsberg began work on "Howl" as early as 1954. In the Paul Blackburn Tape Archive at the University of California, San Diego, Ginsberg can be heard reading early drafts of his poem to his fellow writing associates. "Howl" is considered to be one of the great works of American literature. It came to be associated with the group of writers known as the Beat Generation. There is no foundation to the myth that "Howl" was written as a performance piece and later published by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti of City Lights Books. This myth was perpetrated by Ferlinghetti as part of the defense's case during the poem's obscenity trial. Upon the poem's release, Ferlinghetti and the bookstore's manager, Shigeyoshi Murao, were charged with disseminating obscene literature, and both were arrested. On October 3, 1957, Judge Clayton W. Horn ruled that the poem was not obscene.
