Buttonpoetry Stories

Some poetry in honor of the spring pandemic.

I gave myself a year to write. To write and not stop. Since then, I have been brave enough to share my writings with others at poet cafes' and on my social media. Not knowing that I was impacting those around me I decided to enter the 2018 Button Poetry contest in hopes to conquer yet another one of my fears. The book is titled Epiphanies and the reason is due to the adversities that I have faced in this year alone which has led for revelations of new found belief to where I am.

No matter where life's path may lead, the value of your roots endures, a testament to the unbreakable ties that bind. Home's essence lies in its ability to evoke feelings of connection and belonging.

I write what my soul speaks. Ordinary, quirky and sometimes dark stuff.

My first attempt at some button poetry. Just imagine emotions :')

I've been writing since I was in my mid teens, I use poetry as a release for emotion. That's literally all this is, a book of poetry.

A collection of slam poems that I hope to recite one day.

Short poems I've written in the middle of the night in a tired drunken like state only to be totally sober

Spoken word is a form of poetry meant for more than ink on paper. Spoken Word is meant to be preformed in front of audiences, or to yourself a mirror every morning. Either is fine.

This is a book of poetry. Sometimes the tea will be hot. TRIGGER WARNING: there will be themes such as fascism(not agreeing with them obviously(but this means there will be mentions/implications of homophobia, bigotry, racism, xenophobia,...), rape/assault/violence/guns. I will be posting trigger warnings at the beginning of poems because I know what it's like to be unexpectedly triggered. Thanks for reading. The art is not mine. Found on Pinterest searching "Teacup poetry"

Here's a list of poems about bad times. Please note that there may be triggering poems in here about self harm, suicide, and drug overdose. So please read with caution. Anyways, I hope you enjoy these.

The butterflies have left is my journey to discovering love in poetry. It's pain, pleasure and heart throbbing nostalgia....

Finding peace

I'm at the beginning of a relationship, and it's not far enough in for me to be able to express how I really feel about him, so I've just written some poetry about it. This one I was inspired after binge watching Firefly and I was looking out of my window towards the night sky.

Another cover by Saccstry. It's the fourth book of the series you guys, I'm pretty proud of how far I've gotten. Thanks everyone. The art of some chapters will be between myself and Chiara Bautista, as well as photos I've taken and want to share with y'all.
