cinquain ekphrastic heterometric list quatrain rondeau sapphic sonnet villanelle

This is my ten-form poetry submission to the first annual ATTYS competition.

All ten poems are related to the process of coming to terms with different life situations: a miscarriage, the death of a loved one in the Vietnam war; a political abduction; the ex-pat life; a battered wife; betrayal; Alzheimer's Disease; drought; isolation; a mother/daughter relationship.

Thank you for reading my submission.  I hope these poems "speak" to you!

I invite you to visit my poetry blog, The Wonderful Boat, at www.cathychandler.blogspot.com

My Poetry by A_Shy_Person27

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute, we read and write poetry because we are members of the human race." -Dead Poets Society I'm a 17 y/o (Started this when I was 15) just wanting to share some of my poetry with people other than my friends :] (Also feel free to comment any tips and how I could improve on my writing!)

𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐲 ➙ 𝘱𝘰𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘺 by MayGarner

MELANCHOLY | Melancholy drips from my fingertips. SOON TO BE A PUBLISHED PAPERBACK. COMING 2025! This melancholy drips from my fingertips so slowly, you begin to forget I even exist. All of me, the hard parts of flesh you could never seem to love, drips down the drain. I am waiting for the day for your fingers to unscrew the pipes, dig through debris and mess, scrape your heart against the rust, just to find me, so we can go through it all over again. Here, in the pages I find myself, in the ink that writes against my flesh, I will whisper the sadness, the heartache, and the decaying for all of the unspoken. Perhaps under this layer of melancholy, the girl I once knew still exists.    First poetry collection in the series. Original poems based off real life experiences. #12 in poetry.

just in whispers by WrittenParoxysm

Some love happens too fast to be deemed true. Some love fades away so swiftly that it doesn't approve to be grasped as a memory. Some love is enormous it calls to be screamed. Then there's my love for you that is the same yet different. A love so forbidden I could only appreciate it through deep breaths and closed eyes. A love that should be hidden because it existed at the same time when a timeworn affection pleads to come back to my life. A love that humbly appeals to be heard as blurs-making me settle to tell the world...even just in whispers. Updates every Saturday at 5:30 PM GMT+8. Welcome to the story of a fleeting love.
