Library 1- Everyday Observations
They say to write what you know, so here is a look at some of the topics that cause me to pause and reflect.
Cancer Is A Coward
Inspired by all the cancer patients that I've cared for over the years.
Cancer Says You Are
Inspired by all the cancer patients that I've cared for over the years.
Lines
I was thinking about the pressure women face to stay young looking, when I think we should celebrate our "WRINKLES".
I Am Perfectly Imperfect
Just thinking again on how the media projects that if we are not young or perfect, we should not be seen. Again, I say celebrate your imperfections.
Fearless
As women, we are unfortunately ruled to some degree by our hormones, so somedays we do feel more confident and then we have days we feel defeated.
I Am Alive
I love the water: It relaxes me and spurs my creativity. I do some of my best writing while floating in my pool. I hope to retire somewhere near the ocean.
Quilts
My mom was always sewing. She made a lot of our clothes and they were gorgeous pieces. Wish I still had some of them. This was me attempting to relate relationships to sewing.
Memories
This was birthed while floating in the pool. I was thinking of my paternal grandmother mainly, but was just trying to capture that idea when a memory just pops in your head so suddenly and can cause such a visceral reaction.
Panic
I have suffered with generalized anxiety most of my adult life. A snapshot of what anxiety/panic can feel like.
Images
I am what you would call sentimental. This is my wondering on how our brain chooses which memories to keep and how some memories we want to keep get lost in the shuffle.
Passing Thoughts
This for me is the writing process...A word or thought that blooms into something more.
Sleep Runs and I Chase It
This was actually written from an Instagram prompt. I don't normally write like that, but wanted to challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone.
Dark Days
This is from some of the dark days I had during post partum depression.
Shadows
This came out of me trying to make sense of my fear of the dark.
The Little Kite
This is one of many attempts to describe how God cares for each of his children in his own way.
Falling Leaves
Circus Act
Me every day as a mom of 3 young children.
Paper Stars
This was inspired by origami stars that my daughter had made for me as part of a gift.
The Safety Net
Again decsribing my relationship with God.
Time Starts to Slow Down
I believe this was from an Instagram prompt. I don't usually write use romance as a theme, but this is just were the poem wanted to go.
I Can't Stop Thinking
This just reflecting on the beginning of relationships when all you want to do is think about That person.
Til The Stars Burn Away
This is another Instagram prompt. I like the challenge of starting with a random phrase and seeing where it goes.
The Fourth of July
Inspired by a trip home to see family and trying to capture the magic of a small town moment.
As Long as The Ocean is Wide
An attempt to put into words how I felt on dark days.
Before the Wind Blows Again
An Instagram prompt again. These are meant to be short, and just allowing the thought to write itself.
