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.)

witness

Singled out and silent.
There is something in the silhouette of you.
From alternate angles and forced perspectives
We come to you.
No true intended consequences.
The outcome of design never rests,
With squinted eyes.
These cheeks, red with tension.

Happiness is understood.
But the laughter is off-putting
How hard must one try?

For the better jokes.
How far must a person be driven?
Is the constant punishment to blame?
Or are a person's choices their own
Responsibility and punishment.
Who then can a lover find responsible
Within this timeline.
