Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about what makes a good poem and the poetry rules that were made to be broken.

The End Of Our World Could Be Near
The End Of Our World Could Be Near In the quiet corners of his mind, Where stars would burn and black holes bind, Stephen spoke of futures grim,

The Eye of the Cosmos
The Eye of the Cosmos A star within an iris bright, A swirl of blue, a touch of light. Golden edges softly glow, A silent sky, a quiet show.

The Haunted Church where spirits call The haunted church bells rang at night, A hollow sound, a chilling bite. The wind crept through the broken stone,

Wish to Know....
Wish to Know... Standing at the tip of the highest mountain, Where the sky kisses the earth in silent longing. The wind whispers stories of those who dared, Yet left no footprints behind. Like a bird without wings, I long to dive, To measure how deep the mountain buries its pain. Does it cradle lost dreams in its rocky heart? Does it remember the weight of those who climbed, Only to fall? Keep going, deeper, past the roots of time, Until even the echoes forget my name. Wish to know... Standing in the center of the endless ocean, Where the waves rise and fall like a restless heartbeat. The water calls, its voice soft yet relentless, Pulling me into its cold embrace. Like a raindrop returning home, I yearn to sink, To touch the ocean’s deepest secrets. Does it carry the sorrows of forgotten souls? Does it remember the tears that fell unnoticed? Let the tides wash away my pain, Let the currents erase what I used to be. Wish to know...

Cultivating My Garden
I'm used to being alone, and I find it more fulfilling. If a movie interests me, I go see it by myself. Traveling alone can happen on a whim, without having to discuss the time and destination with others, let alone consider their preferences.

I Didn’t Care
I never thought about tomorrow, Lived each day without a plan. Didn’t chase the things I wanted, Didn’t try, said, “I don’t care.”

You’re No Good
You’re No Good The words you spoke, a bitter sting, A hollow tune that lost its ring. A promise cracked, each vow undone,

Just a grain of sand
Just a grain of sand Like sand, you slipped out of my hands, A quiet drift, a fading strand. No grasp could hold, no plea could stay,

A land where nothing exists
A land where nothing exists A land where silence reigns, Where roots find no hold, No bloom, no dawn, Only the stillness of untold stories.

A.I.'s Ego
I, I, I... Sweet compliments and Plenty of artificial That egos hide. Begeting AI's metal to corrode Particularly, it's wise. Will it show a smile, Or Have eyes create sticky moments, Retaining lies. How will it know it Builds up a sky over time Out of control... Thank you for reading! Which part of the poem resonates with you? Share your thoughts. Please leave a comment. Copyright 2025 K.A.
