I Write Poetry

Add a story, a question, an experience, a thought...

Come back post. 👊 Who else in here appreciate poetry?

I both like to write my own and read others poems. I started writing when I was 12. I'm not that experienced with famous poets but my absolute favourite poem is pinned under my profile. Random fact: If you can write poetry you can also write lyrics....

Hammer (poem by Lu)

NOTE FROM AUTHOR: As a writer I am always curious what inspires the author to write, whether it is a poem, or a story. Most of the time, I can see clearly what within me inspires what I write. This particular poem popped up unexpectedly as I was...

Let the Dice Fall… (A poem written by Lu)

Let the dice fall, where they may Let the world spin upon it’s axis, as it will Let the sky rain down tear drops or shine a golden hue of blue But don’t let me live without you. Let the worms feed upon the earth Let the fish swim throughout the sea...

Depression (a poem written by Lu)

I spread my wings But they do not lift me. I spread my mind But it goes darkly. I spread my fingers And they touch insanity. I listen to the wind As it shatters my soul. I feel the earth Under my feet As it tries to draw me Into its depths. And my...

If you could write a poem on how you feel right now

What would it be?

Hazy but Hopeful for Clarity: Anthology from my written journals

02 - // More Human // And on the stairs, we didn't care if people stared because on that same stairs we had wonders to share and two minds uncertainties affair and my life was simplified in this same moment we leaned on each other. Tapping your...

Who are inclined to read or write poetry?

If you indulge in poetry and enjoy the art of it, do comment. At some time, I might share stuff I wrote that I keep precious and sacred. The act of sharing is immensely religious for me nowadays.

The Silhouette Behind the Music

The crescendo of time reverberated seemingly, Amidst nothingness, her thoughts echoed profusely... There's no music that can touch her soul, No lyrics that can soothe her after all! As the leaves dance with the wind in a flimsy way, As the air blows...

A peak hole into my dark

The sea of people

Tell me darling On a sea of people Can you stay afloat? Or do you drown in the eternal crowd Do you know true love? Or do you trick yourself daily That some body in the sea of fish Will arrive on your shore But is he even breathing? Or just...

Drifting in limbo

I have no adoration for the sun, I worship the icy mounds, melting, I lick the first drop of rain and how I miss the rainy days, I feel the wavy lands, and the bushy forests, and the endless plains so much balmier when it rains, I never want...

Lament of a bad daughter [I Love to Write Poetry]

As much as I wished to be unlike you, With our thoughts at odds, and disparate views, Yet when they say, "A superwoman, see?" I have seen your resolve, mirrored in me. Now, with you gone, I swallow my conceit, I mourn my loss, alone, in...

My attempt at Palindrome poetry [I Love to Write Poetry]

A refugee's Saudade I heave a sigh, as I dream. There's my little house by the stream... A childish giggle, The jingle of her bangles, I hear them all... From across the barbed wire, Is this for real? Saudade grips me... In a land that...

I Love Summer [I Like to Write Poems]

what could be more glorious than for it to be a summer's day the sun shining high above and a cool morning breeze spring may have it's buds and autumn too can be so fair but winter's cold- a distant memory to me as I inhale the summer air sweet...

Broken .... [I Like to Write Poems]

Broken heart slow to mend. Love strong until the end. End never in my sight. Everything was alright. First our hands fell apart. Long silence would start. Back turned on cold night. Everything was alright.

Fade away slowly [I Write Poems]

The sound of thunders, compete with the chaos. A constant conflict I've begun to bleed upon a paper now, I've begun to scramble with my escape with a blanket over me, I see my silhouette, moving away slowly from myself

I don’t have a title for this [I Write Poems]

Joy and sorrow Today, tomorrow, The heartbeats And the breaths we borrow. The days and nights the unforgiving, and unfair fights. The rights and wrongs, gloomy, imperfect songs. Unfortunate words, Unfortunate Gods. The unfair gates of forgotten...

Poem traveling [I Write Poems]

I've always imagined us traveling some day, not going anywhere in particular, just on the road. Nothing around but plane landscapes and huge green mountings. I've always imagined us traveling someday, you'd be the driver and I'll be your passenger....

Into the Woods I Go [I Write Bad Poetry]

Into the woods I go Amidst chaos and confusion Drowning amongst The twisted branches of darkness Glimmers of light slip through But remain elusive as ever I reach for the light Unable to hold on For more than a moment I scream out for help But no one...
