Poppy's Preferences Pt1

So I've been checking out some posts in the Poets community and discovering some authors I didn't know about. I also recently read Paul Stewart's Vocal Deep Cuts Series and Vocal's fortnightly Raise Your Voice Thread (at least I think it's fortnightly?) and had the idea to do something similar by sharing some of my favourite recent poetry and prose I stumbled across.

If you like this idea, let me know and I might make it a series!

Edit: Unfortunately, the majority of these poems have been removed from the series, either because the creator has deleted the poem/ account, or because it was discovered to be uncredited AI. However, I've decided to leave it up for the introduction to the series and the remaining poems which still deserve recognition.

Stretch out the Summer by Cezarina Trone

This is one of my favourite poems I've read recently. I cannot even begin to describe how good every line was. You'll have to read it to understand.

Storming by Suze Kay

Okay this poem probably already has a bunch of reads so doesn’t technically fit with what I was aiming for BUT I am absolutely obsessed with it and had to share it because I think everyone should read it!! I think it deserves top story.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to let me know if you would like to see this made into a series!
