the A-Z of poetry
something relatable
alas!
you are spouting words on paper
you are a writer!
bah!
insecurities reign
these words sound a little insane
crikey!
does this even make sense
do I just sound seriously dense?
dang!
i’ve been at this all day
is any of this even a little bit okay?
eurika!
this looks somewhat improved!
i think I’m finally finding my groove
fiddlesticks!
this sounds like such basic rhyme
it looks AI generated and not mine
gosh!
did I even study English?
no way is there any word called finglish
hmm!
and no words to rhyme with pawn?
is my brain even turned on?!
indeed!
but can’t seem to think
my mind is blank as my eyes just blink
jeez!
I think I’ve forgotten all I know
this writing stuff is a serious ego blow
ka-ching!
now that stanza looks like gold!
what an eloquent way to describe getting old!
lol!
i’m actually hilariously funny
this poem surely ought to earn me some money!
meh!
but that next bit’s a bit crap
this is meant to be poetry not gangster rap
nah!
none of this is any good
i should probably just go make myself some food
oh!
what the actual feck?
did I even run a spell check?!
pfft!
i can’t think straight
i’m no writer, I’m just a fake
quick!
let’s just finish this edit now
it’s already written anyhow
rats!
hold on a sec
I think I need a grammar check
shh!
actually this now looks okay
should I hit publish or wait another day?
ta-da!
yes! I did it! it’s finally done
well now! (*smiling *sits back in chair) wasn’t that fun?!
urgh!
hold on - that’s not in the right order
and this paragraph here is a word hoarder
voila!
that looks fixed
now that it’s been again re-mixed
whoops!
but now that part doesn’t flow
should that entire paragraph go?
xylophones!
i just hit send!
well feck, at least this has come to an end
yikes!
what it’s not understood?
and people all think it’s no good?
zing!
the notifications begin!
it’s appreciation rolling in!

There is a Thin Line Between Tears of Sorrow and Tears of Joy
I remember when my mother passed away. After the tears from the initial shock, our family sat in the living room and shared memories. We talked about her love and compassion toward others, the lessons she taught us about honesty, and how she taught us the importance of respecting ourselves and others. Then we started sharing memories that made us smile and eventually, each of us began to relax and tell stories that made us laugh.

That was freaking brilliant! It was sooooo clever and creative! It's always something new from you! I totally enjoyed this so much!
This is great - so funny, and yes, relatable!
Loved this! So funny and well done! And much like my brain on most days! 🤍
Lol I found this very amusing! Great work!
omg, I love this. sounds just like me. sometimes I edit until I can't think straight. this is really so true and awesomely good.
This was fun. :D
that's a really clever way of doing this! Really enjoyed the whole internal creative journey there 😁. Honestly the whole time I was waiting to see what you did with the letter X 😂. I did a similar poem and I was stuck on X for so long that I actually almost just scrapped the whole poem altogether 🤣🤣
