Welcome

Hello, and welcome to my daily poetry blog. The following poems are improvised based on my day, general reflections, or by just allowing my mind to cruise in neutral without a filter. I have been working on this for something around two years now and have amassed a lot of words. You can either go through them page by page, or check out the "Hall of Better Poems" option in the right column. Please feel free to comment on what you like or dislike, and also subscribe below if you like this sort of thing. Thanks!

(typically I will write down my ideas on paper throughout the day and I may not get in front of a computer to transfer it. So I then dump a few days worth of poems at once.)

Make The Devil Blush

The fearful minds of children startle easily it seems.
Every unknown animosity personified as beasts.
Some monster or some demon
Or malicious creeping thing.

But as adulthood brings on starkness,
A much more 'real' fear enters in.
When squinting through the darkness,
We see a different type of sin.

It is not imagined monsters
that send chills upon our spine
As adults we know that real danger
Lurks far outside of our minds.

The variation in our species
Is the place where 'evil' lives
The things that other humans do.
Is unimaginable by kids.

It would be simple to write off terror,
To some unknown race of creatures.
The truth is much more scary.

The fact that malice lives only inside the human race.

This morning it looked in a mirror.

This morning it washed it's face.
