Give It A Look

I’ve just released a new poetry book,
If you like my work, please give it a look.

It’s dark and edgy, full of adult themes,
It’s an exploration of reality, where nothing’s as it seems.

It’s a product of years of writing to heal,
If you’re a mental health buddy it will certainly appeal.

Also if you want some sharp social commentary,
Or if you’re looking for content that’s existentially scary.

Or if you want to see unique ways to twist a rhyme,
Or poetry so good it will seem like a crime.

Or an in-depth look at the depths of humanity,
Or joy, love, and dark depravity.

Or if you’re just looking for something new,
Then do I have the perfect idea for you.

Please considering giving my book a buy,
It’s called, ‘Bound to the Wings of a Butterfly’

Read it on paperback, hardcover, eBook or audio,
However you like, it’s ready to go!

This poem is inspired by the book, ‘How To Write Evocative Poetry’.

Writing Therapy

Writing Therapy.

Just words on a page,
Or something more?

The page listens,
The page absorbs,
The page doesn’t judge.

The page can be discarded,
The page can be shared,
The page can be reread.

The act of writing heals.

It pulls the demons out.
It exposes them to the light.
It reveals them for what they are.

Fabrication.
Rumination.
Improbability.
Regret.

The act of writing instructs.

It informs our current state.
Shows our inner workings.
Forces us to be precise.

After writing comes the review.
By looking back we see the truth.

Of how far we’ve come.
Of our varied and ever changing moods.
Of different aspects of ourselves.

We see that we are more complex than our current mental state can possibly comprehend.

So write.

Write without judgement. Without pause for grammar or spelling. Without thoughts of what is appropriate or right. Without care for its readability. Without concern for the judgement of others.

It is the act of writing that counts, not the quality that you produce.

No one has to see it.

So just write.
