The Great (Poetry) Library of Alexandria
Organised by Emotion
Welcome to my Poetry Library. Grab a cup of something soothing, chocolate-y and hot, a comfy chair and settle in for any amount of time you wish 💫
✨✨✨It’s completely free!✨✨✨
(tips are welcomed as you leave!)
I chose to separate my Haiku’s from the rest of my Poetry (as I see these as being very different) and then organised by categories of emotion for your ease of perusal. Newest poems are at the top of each section. Dive in. Leave comments and love rather than footprints please ❤️ 🕊️ 😇
I want all of my poetry to inspire but I also recognise that releasing pain comes as a necessary prelude to being inspired. We often need help to create that clear foundation and release those traumas that we have suppressed over the years. Sometimes a poem that resonates with your own unspoken grief can be that help.
Sometimes it helps us to validate what we have experienced when we feel that someone else has suffered as we have. I try to balance my writing between these goals but I always write from what I am feeling, remembering or experiencing in the present.
Thank so much for being here, for your encouragement and support and for your time! I hope that I reach your heart and help it to smile, release tears or validate some of what you have suffered through. ✨

Uncategorised Poetry
Quite funny after just telling you I organised this, right? I know, I know. This is a rather fun place to begin if you don’t know where to start! Nothing too heavy here.

Dreaming of Love
Sweet poems with that will remind you to appreciate your loved ones or look forward to welcoming love (back) into you heart one day soon. The last two were for a Vocal challenge.
Below. Nice idea, terrible execution! One of my first poetry attempts. I leave it here to show how far I’ve come!!

Very Personal Poetry
Very personal poems from grief, loss & trauma. If someone wanted to understand my depth or a teeny fraction of my past experiences - this is the place I would suggest they come to learn from before we talk. I bled here for the final time. Some are heartbreaking, some are angry, some are just a statement of fact 💔🕊️
Personal & Uplifting (apparently a genre I don’t create much in!)😅

Social Commentary Poems
There is a lot of strong emotion packed into these. If you are looking for something thought provoking that will stir you out of apathy or slumber, start here. 🕊️❤️

Stream of Consciousness ‘Poems’
This is what the kids are calling it…. Either that or what my fellow creator Paul Stewart calls word spaghetti! Either, or 😉
Jimmy Nail Poetry
This is a jest title referencing the song Love Don’t Live Here Anymore! This is poetry with just the faintest attitude of f*ck you about it.
It’s a small section… that I intend to keep small! I’m more for doing the excruciating work to always return to love, understanding and forgiveness rather than spewing anger…. but sometimes…..just sometimes….we have to honour our lower consciousness and give it a voice 🙈😅😆
✨
I really wasn’t sure where to place this one - but I decided to be really honest and place it here!
✨

Light & Whimsical Poems
Nothing heavy here! Just silly and lighthearted fun. I know one of these titles may look like a mistake here, but trust me 😉✨❤️

Haiku
[I intend to return and improve this section as I add more Haiku … but all of the above took so long it’s time to hit Publish!!]
Limericks
Some short silliness. All have an intended deeper meaning. If you know, you know 😉

Above is my fiction stories, health articles and other random musings! Please do check in soon! 🕊️❤️✨

Well done, Kayleigh! I like how you listed your poetry.
It's great to see your poetry collection all in one place!! Forgive me I may tread light on the haiku, as it always leaves me hungry, but I will definitely peruse your organized collection.💙Anneliese
Love that you've done this like Matthew, Mackenzie, LC and others! I would do it, but the numbers freak me out haha! I'll be sure to have a look through for some more hidden gems by you! Well done, Kayleigh!
This is what I like about you; you like to keep things organised. I do too but I'm just too lazy to actually do it 🤣 I'll have to circle back here when I have the time! Thank you so much for putting this together!
This is a fantastic idea! What a great way to catalogue all your poetry!
Love this!!! ❤️❤️💕
