Learn: Poem #21
In a previous post, I shared the impact of relationships, giving you all a sneak peek at my poetry pamphlet Monomyth Melodies, coming out later this year. Below is one of my poems that doesn't follow the common method of rhyming. Instead, I've used the alphabet as inspiration, tracing each letter at the beginning of each line. I started out wanting to have stanzas, where just sections of the poem would rhyme, but at the end I was able to create an entire piece that bounces off each other, creating one semblance of thought through twenty-six separate phrases. Some of the thoughts are a sentence on their own and others blend into the following line. Either way, I have tried to create moments of thoughtfulness and woven in nuggets of truth. The world is not how we would wish, but every step that we take remind others that we are not in this alone. Sometimes it just takes one voice to stand out.
