"Circles of sight, drunken mirrors."
The following collection of poems are written not for myself, but for many different purposes (someone gives me a title and I have to write something). There might be prose in here too, so I guess it's not just a collection of poems.
The title of this book, Act My Age, was inspired by the studio album This Is Acting, by singer-songwriter Sia. As her album mostly contained the rejected songs she wrote for other people, I decided to follow the same concept and make a collection of poems that do not belong elsewhere. Another inspiration for the title came from reading many plays, and thus I wanted the book to have ambiguity with regards to what each poem meant, and leave it up to the audience to decide.

Thoughts of a Juvenile
Words are sharper than knife they say. Yes it is true. Some perfectly moulded good words can both make and break a heart easily. A poem is a group of such perfectly moulded words given wings to fly. They fly through the mind and heart easily. A hobby is an activity we do to express ourselves, our beliefs and our thinking. For example through drawing, dancing, singing, etcetera. Writing a poem is one of such hobbies. Here words are used. These words and messages are far more twisted. A poem hits the mind, a good poem hits the heart. Thoughts Of A Juvenile is just a collection of my poems.I started writing poems when I was 8. I may not be a great writer. But yeah I write to express. There have been times for me like many other teenagers where I thought I was lost and helpless. There have been good times too. I'm standing on the edge of teenage now, telling you that you can survive this. You can survive everything. All you need is to find your strengths. There are sad nights and then there are mornings full of opportunities. Don't give up. I'm here and I'll always be here. Whenever you feel down just remind yourself "Be stupid". Go out in public and the eat the food you like alone, ask out your crush, flirt like there's no one watching, dance like a ghost has possessed your body, prank people, have a little chat with the nerds you know. Surviving is an art not many can master. Be a Master. There are mistakes in this book and I tried my best to correct them. But couldn't correct them all. I would really love to receive reviews and criticism. Vote if you like it. Comment your views. And follow for more poems. Add it to your reading list or library.Complete
Between Actuality & a Psychotic Embrace
A collection of my own combined styles of - Macro Poetry & QuoteArt, which = MacQuote Poetry. I will try my best to have new additions every week from my on-going-twisted-love-affair of writing poetry. For all the support and encouragements you all share with me - I do humbly appreciate all that you say and do. The feeling I get when another writer comments, or votes is imperial to how I interrupt that my work has some actual capabilities of reaching out and affecting someone's day or even their own life. So, please, if you like the poetry that I've consciously poured my heart, soul and thoughts out, please, leave a comment, or vote for how much this piece or any other of my poetry has helped. If it has given you hope, acknowledgement, or just an awareness that someone, like me, knows exactly what you can go through first hand, let me see how much it affects you. Even the 'poet' needs some love shown. :) Copyright © 2017-2020 By T. A. Hinson All Rights Reserved All rights reserved.

RIVULETS OF THOUGHTS - Cascading emotions
I am a Poet, surfing the rainbows... Squandering the few surviving winks in my dreamy eyes. I, a well accompanied loner, saunter amidst the fireflies. Like a wandering dream, my restless mind meanders, "Will the same butterflies return to the flower?" It wonders. I am the thief who thieved the fire, to set the ideas ablaze, I stole the rains too, I had to flood the despondent deserts. But Metaphors I'd just borrow, they would never be mine. Metaphors can't be tamed, they belong to poetry, not poets. I roam unescorted and unaccompanied. I'm just exploring. Whilst, really there is nothing to find. "Sshh!" There is everything to find... Yet I roam... As a Poet. I roam. The wilderness, of the mind, the canyons of consciousness. -Harish Vaid harishvaid1986@gmail.com A collection of Poems, of the unusual sort. Read along for poems ranging from Love to Life, General to Abstract, Random to Insane. Intended to be an ongoing series. "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen." -Leonardo Da Vinci Love all... Love you all. "Amor Vincent Omnia"Complete

Whisper's of the Soul
RANKED 1 in Poem Collection! Sussurri dell'Anima (Whispers of the Soul) is a collection of literary pieces-poems, prose, sonnets, verses, and short stories-born from the quiet corners of emotion, the places words seldom reach. Each work is a murmur from within, a tender dialogue between the self that feels and the self that listens. These pieces do not speak loudly; they breathe. They follow the delicate pulse of longing, memory, and quiet courage-the soft language of a heart learning to understand its own silence. Also, this collection includes different perspectives that I'd like to give a meaningful portrayal. Through every whisper, the soul reveals itself: fragile yet enduring, wounded yet infinite. Thank you deeply for each vote, read, and all your support. Enjoy Reading! (人*'∀｀)｡*ﾟ @myinkspeaks
