part of making poetry is making bad poetry. and i don’t mean that you can’t write, of course you can, you know you can (you’ve seen it), but great poets are not always great poets. often there are terrible poems - for one reason or another it’s just not there. maybe it doesn’t convey what you need it to or maybe it’s not strong or maybe when you re-read it you just hate it.

this is all part of being a poet. of being any writer, honestly, but especially poets. you have to be okay with writing poems that don’t fit your own criteria, you have to be okay with writing poems that ultimately lead to nowhere. you have to be okay with writing absolute shit because sometimes through all that shit you’ll get some good shit.

writing poetry is all about writing shitty poetry, too.

and don’t let the fear of writing badly stop you from writing. writing badly is better than not writing. writing a bad poem is still creating poetry.

so go out there and write all the bad poems you need to.

I was off Tumblr assuming I'm off depression but it never was, all I did was stopped writing about it and it consumed me more every second.

Poet was not my call and I just loved depression was something a lay person thought and I tried to convince myself the same.

Love is real and making others happy had been my priority but it felt different when none felt the same to me.

Wasn't a fool but their silence around me made me a clown.

THE HARE KNOWS

when paint flakes embellish church walls

in the afternoon sun

they resemble lily-white

petals left on a grave

carrion birds nest as the birch calls

them homewards

in a screeching conclave

the trees too know

more than they should

that one day

we'll be tucked in their wood

shaped 5'0 to 6'8 long

hidden from that afternoon sun

in the earth where we belong

and the cycled livelihood

of those carrion birds

and their hunger for thirds

will continue

as they sing their mourning song

and the hare will,

unconcerned, hop along

Darling, I never

Lost it; it was you who did

Come find me again

Yuanfen

Anarchistic atheist, you don’t believe in anything, Yet you still suck the poison juice from your Agent Orange tree. Devotion stains your fickle fingers green with wax wedding rings, From gum ball machines pulsating with a purple putty sheen. Waves of canned laughter surfing the red rustling sea never cling, To wild blueberry barrens that whisper in the autumn breeze. Hot pink jingling ice cream trucks begin to flee from school crossings, As guards guide children into cages where they long to be free. Yellow school buses like great white sharks seethe and swarm while circling This hurricane rage swirling and surging inside my daydreams. Summer solstice has turned her back on me, sans solace, leaving Cracked crystal spiders on windshields from frenzied fists of fury. Lost like stray dogs on Praia da Luz Beach, we’re cross waves rippling That forever roam with ghosts of missing girls along the sea. I never bought train tickets for this tragedy on hope’s wings – A passenger in this parade I never wanted to be. Poised to jump into a blackhole fantasy we’re barreling Toward a land where smoke and mirrors are what your false prophets see. Chasing rainbows, your pheromones lure me back to us, I sing – O’ Yuanfen! My faith in you will become the death of me!

I drank his love like a forbidden elixir,

sipping eternity.

Completely unaware of anguishing future.

I have him in every inch of me, but not his presence.

"Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place." - Rumi. #communityofpoets #communityofwriters #poetrybyummeaimans #communityofpoetry #contentwriting #poemsindia #poetsoninstagram #theenchantedgirl #penartist #penandpaper #poetryoninstagram #poetryonig #poetsandwritersfeature #evepoetrygroup #writersnetwork #silverleafpoetry #poetscafe #poetsconnection #poetsofthefall #poetsofpinterest #poetsoftumblr #poetsofficial #wordsofwisdom #lifequotes #inspirationalquotes #sufiquotes #sufi #lovetowrite #strongvibes #manifestations https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-ZIA6lTqE/?igshid=144zuhvp1jm4e

Here are some regrets

Here are some memories

Here's a photograph

Here's a story

From fairytale to nightmare

From peace to destruction

From present to no future

From love to an end

Here's the irony

It was the best

we put it to rest

Here's the irony

The love didn't end

But the relationship did

Crazy how it hurts

Crazy how we messed it up

Crazy how it broke

Crazy how we choose to leave it broken.

underfoot

you are a sweet october, leaving all

too soon. my favourite seasons always walk

the quickest, the orange garnish falling

without a pleasant ending. i must stop

building homes behind unstable ribcages —

their branches are too eager to change —

and i feel my own bones before they break

like twigs. i beg the clearest skies for rain

but my inner workings do not matter —

i’m not meant to last until spring. you sap

the colour from my leaves, watch them scatter

to the wind. and you, searching for untapped

roots as my own turn to whispers, bitter,

as every season leaves them to wither.

/

Chasing Something Long Gone Never To Return Again

Folio of pornographic stains.

Tremble like lightning. Fall like rain.

Strike a hammer blow.

Scouring the pots for a light chemical sunshine high.

Now, I'm indisposed.

I am addicted to frostbite and being bitten by mad dogs in the moonlight.

Takes my breath away like crashing through ice on the snowy river.

I am trying desperately; hoping to be fire.

There is no more. But I've always been a liar.

Worthlessness is an exchange value.

Breaking my bread.

What have you?

All of this is inside of your head

And the world is a whirlpool. Ev'rything is dead.

I used to be alive. Know what I mean?

Riding a mad machine towards doomsday

Like everything was methamphetamine.

I'm not here.

I am everywhere.

--------------------------------------------

This is a new day. Where's the action?

Chicken pox or an allergic reaction?

Heard you had a dirty nose.

Delightfully for your satisfaction

Beating Eden with a rubber hose.

Be like them, but not like those.
