Release, Poetry by Morgan Amos

 Writing is my therapeutic release

Expression through my pen

I can tell my true feelings or mask them into a story

A story of someone who is internally broken

Who hides behind a smile

Who’s careful not to let a tear fall

Writing is my therapeutic release

I can bare my soul

I can write what I am feeling when I cannot physically speak the words

Writing is my therapeutic release where I can invite you into my world whether I am feeling low or the happiest person in the world

Writing is my therapeutic release

Unleashing pent up aggression, bottled up emotions, the realization and truth regarding certain situations

Writing is my therapeutic release and forever will be, because even when I may not be able to speak, I can write down how I feel, and in doing that, find some sort of peace

 
Genre: Freedom

Traveling Heart, Poetry by Demarco Singleton

I can’t stop what has already taken flight.

I’d be killing the dream of one, but slowing down the dream of ton.
Let me explain

If a heart is already gone, how can you get it back?

It is not the fact of getting it back, but trying to jump in front of its path without turning a good heart bad.

If you continue to try to stop this heart, you are stopping its travel to happiness.

Stopping this mission will lead to a life of no forgiveness and a heart with bad intentions.

Don’t slow down the dream of ton just because this heart lose one.

Genre: Love, Romantic, Life, Rhyme

 A Bomb, Poetry by F. Suci Safitri

There is a bomb

The wires,

start from A to Z

If I cut the wrong one,

will you explode?

A Poem to a Child, Poetry by Kriz Rogers

On the day you were born the sky was so blue,
The trees, oh, so gorgeous – each limb of them too.
Each grain of the sand felt pure joy over you:
May of all of this love your soul always be true.
Amen.

The Light of Life, Poetry by Barbara Hunt

A world filled with danger and darkness demolishing everything in its path
Happiness fleeting as time marches on destroying memories like common trash
People grow and open their eyes and see nothing but a black abyss of loneliness
A small globe of light can be seen if you look as innocent laughter fills every crack and nook
Never give up hope and open your mind for the light still shines brightly when you look in there eyes
A tidbit of evil is soon placed as they open there heart and there suffering soon behind to start
Never forget the balance of life as the forces of nature are neutral we decide our path and choose the side we believe shall suffice and hopefully we will all choose the same conclusion the path that is the glowing light

 
Genre: life, love, darkness, family, Hope, and fear

Social media, Poetry by Dasha Jennings

although it has enrich our lives with the vivid imagery

of current events taking place around us.

it’s destroying our sense of humanity at the same time.

We are so focused on who has the most likes,

that we are losing our connection to other human beings around us.

The more likes, hearts, and views we get the more addicted

we become to these sites.

It feeds your addiction for a while,

until you realize that nobody knows of your

existence nor cares,

they just know who this person is before them on this platform.

Social media is this platform where we tear each other apart,

not bring them together.

If you do not fit into the criteria,

then you are not one to show your existence on this site.

For if you do then they will tear you apart

by making the latest memes and sharing them worldwide.

Social media you’re turning everyone against each other.

For you sweet an innocent features are the reason for mass suicide

and countless families suffering worldwide.

Guilty Feast, Poetry by Anthony S

  “Guilty Feast”

Hollow sin-Eater searching empty roads
A barefoot traveler with bleeding soles
This hateful living for the sake of death
Your guilty feast taken and laid to rest

Thanksgiving, Poetry by Karen A. Valencia

 

I count the grapevines on the tablecloth,
Twenty-six twine on my side by the broth.
I count the bubbles in the champagne glass
And dread the moment Mom starts to give thanks.
We hold hands to form a shatterproof chain,
I spot the rusty link but I restrain
Myself. I am thankful, I am. Yeah sure.
Dear brother, you’re home, you have found a cure.
Oh, they all stood to kiss you! They don’t smell
The stench of penitentiary, the hell
That you dragged in with the crushed autumn leaves.
A “brand new man” yet I do not believe.
But let’s go around! Why not, let’s have more
Empty chatter. Go on, tell Dad to pour
Us the dessert wine. We can spin like this,
Ignoring the taste of ash and grit.
I smile and nod, try not to bear my teeth.
Our vacuumed rugs hide the dirt underneath.
There’s still some laughter when I rearrange
The pie crumbs into star maps. We exchange
A polite “bless you” when we share a sneeze
But I won’t stretch to look above my knees.
Back then, I swear I thought you to be brave,
We’d tip toe in the dark to stay up late.
But now, a fallen statue cracked by sin,
I finally see your tattooed, human skin.
I cringe with shame as family leaves the room.
A twisted guilt somehow ensnares me too.
Just like these grapevines connecting like dots,
Every year we’ll tangle til’ we rot.
