Poetry everywhere,

In the curve of an infant's cheek

In the cool of a morning breeze

In turbulent emotions

In rain

Everywhere

In everything...

Poetry lights up my world. Provides meaning, rhythm, ideas and succinctly gives words to my thoughts and feelings.

I wish I had the same awe, love and reverence for poetry the way you do. It is something to marvel at. I live vicariously through you and your words that glimmer, shimmer, gleam and sparkle. 🩷

"I keep poetry for later — for when I am wiser, calmer, more resilient. But my god, poetry is how I become that person. Accepting poetry means accepting how I’m wired. How much I feel..."

a gift from RAJU!
