acrostic beatnik freedom ghazal hope limerick lipogram pantoum peace poem poetry satire waiting

"Poems from the Quill" is where I place current works that don't fall into other collections. It is here you will find obscure poems that range from constraint to free-verse. I began this collection as a contest entry, years ago, for what was then the poetry side of the Watty's contest and I have since kept it current with odds and ends. Love, peace, and freedom.

Dim. by decipheringBella

Tired of trying to be everything. Trying to be perfect. Wrong paths and wrong people and missed opportunities. Am I letting my mental illness take over my life? A look into the mind of a BPD, Anxiety ridden woman. With no identity but her Panic. With my ways it's hard to keep down anything healthy, relationships that don't last but stay with me like my own personal demons. And evil around the corner you'd never see coming. The pain changes you. Trauma changes you. It strips you away from yourself. BPD strips away your identity sometimes I guess this is my way of finding myself again, through writing and reflecting and realizing it is okay to be hurting. This book will include poetry and scenes and think pieces. It will be vulnerable. It will be raw. It will remind you of your own loss. - "She." Xx🥀xX

EPHEMERAL by _likeariot

Hi there, I'm Momoka! I've always wanted to give poetry a try, so why not now? I thought it would be a good idea to have an outlet for whatever swamp-like state my brain is in. I also want to mention a quick [TRIGGER WARNING] as many poems contain mentions of darker subjects. If you are sensitive to those subjects then please, discretion is the better part of valour! Thank you for reading. c.m

Whispers of the Soul by myinkspeaks

Ranked 4 in Poem Collection! Thank you guys! This is a collection of poems, prose, sonnets, verses, and short stories I've written since I was around 13. Some pieces are from years ago, while others are recent. I've named this collection Whispers of the Soul because each piece captures my curiosities, the feelings I longed to experience, realizations, and deep reflections on the world around me as I grew up. Now, at 19, I feel a bit more confident in sharing these pieces-both what I've already written and what's yet to come. I hope this book resonates with you and brings something meaningful to your soul. Thank you deeply for each vote, read, and all your support. Enjoy Reading! (⁠人⁠*⁠'⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠ @myinkspeaks
