Performance Poetry is poetry out loud; poems brought from the page to the stage.

Out of Your League
I am at peace though my heart is at war My mind inclined to dull out the roar Of the outside world's impression of My lack of convention. My disinterest in investing in a false reality- One more palatable to a woman's place The reflection of my face, my body, my race The measure of my temper should be easy to remember. Oh right- you left and so you lost access to me. Well, recall this to mind when you've carved out the time I'm a conundrum wrapped in a mystery so sublime And so here you come set to pillage and destroy My peace, my boundaries, and my sense of joy?

A Whisper in the Shadows: A Lipogrammatic Tale (Missing the Letter "E")
A Whisper in the Shadows: A Lipogrammatic Tale (Missing the Letter "E") In a shadowy city, smog choked lungs and blotted out sunlight. A young woman, Quinn, with calloused hands and a worn knapsack, navigated through throngs of jostling throngs. Hunger gnawed at her stomach, a constant companion. Quinn, an orphan since childhood, had learned to survive by wit and stealth.

Forest Spirits: A Poetic Encounter with Nature's Magic. AI-Generated.
In the forest, spirits dwell unseen, Whispers in the wind, where they've been. Among the trees, they dance and play, Guiding us along the forest way.
