Write A Letter To A Place That Changed You 1 months agoMY CHALLENGING PLACE
Lexi MaeDown… far away from the sight,
an enchanted forest escapes.
Do not ponder on the unite,
each comes in a multitude of shapes.
They take your hand
to show you the world.
Only to take away your land,
but you’ll be stuck in their magic, which is swirled.
Not your cup of tea?
You know you’re paying for their game.
DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE!
Unless you do… such a shame.
How can you move forward,
if you never listen to your word?Voting starts July 26, 2025 12:00am

Write a poem about your goals for 2025 5 months agoNew Year's Resolution
K. HartsellThis is the year.
The year I let moss grow over my feet.
The year I bathe in the clouds as they kiss the ground.
The year I stretch my fingertips to tickle sun beams.
The year I sleep in the cradle of stars as they whisper lullabies.
The year I let raindrops dance around my smile.
The year I paint over my scars with dandelion wishes.This is the year:
The year I inhale peace and exhale you.Voting is closed

This is beautiful and quite inspiring, I also believe nature is vital and all too often forgotten in our daily lives. I love how you took the time to find the ways to connect!
-
Thank you. That’s the goal. Slow down, enjoy moments, and release toxicity. I wish more people found peace in nature.
-
-
This is such an inspiring poem! To “inhale peace and exhale you” suggests that you are letting go of an important person in your life who no longer contributes to your peace. I hope that this year gives you a chance to get to know yourself again and embrace all that life puts in your path. Thank you for sharing your hope for the new year.
-
Thank you so much! Yes, I am on a journey to reconnect to my roots and my soul. I’ve been working hard to heal and grow. Trying to let go of years of anger and resentment that have been festering and poisoning me. Thank you for the encouragement and for seeing me.

Write a letter or poem to your younger self sharing what you love most about him/her 11 months, 4 weeks agoHow far you’ve come…
Lexi MaeAdmiration within the smile
as you allow it to grow.
All the way from the mile
getting the light to show.
Bouncing around
due to past endeavors.
Finally finding you in the sound
now that I have passed each of the levers.
Chills head their way down
along with the fears.
Never a need to frown
only taking a few years.
You’re brighter than you would believe
just wait to see what you will achieve.Voting is closed

Lexi, it is important that we all take a step back and see how far we have come, especially on the bad days. We are far removed from who we were as children, but we can still appreciate the beauty of finding ourselves as adults. Thank you for sharing your story!

Lexi MaePulling the soul back
to the day that seems forever ago.
Slowly here still wishing for the comeback
those chances set low.
Reminding who you once were
now that my name no longer exists.
For him it’s nothing but a blur
reading the remainder of life from lists.
Telling you all that has been achieved
despite knowing I’ll say it often.
Still pursuing the grieved
hoping maybe it’ll soften.
You still being here
the birds starting to explain the time is near.Voting is closed

Lexi, grandpas are such an important part of growing up as a little girl. They possess the kind of wisdom that we can learn so much from. I am sure that your grandpa would be proud of all that you have achieved and the love and memories that you still cherish from him. Thank you for sharing this lovely poem.

Write a letter or poem to your younger self about why he or she shouldn’t worry about the future 1 years agoTo My Worry
K. HartsellAll these thoughts spinning me lies
Wringing me out and leaving me dry
Blinded by the blackened skies
Shadows and haunts creeping by
What- ifs and worries cloud my eyesEating me through from the inside out
Chewing me raw giving me doubt
Like termites in a log, gluttonous they flout.
Stewing in stench as rotting trout
Smothered in silence I can’t scream or shoutHurricanes and stabbing rains
Try to tell myself it’s all in feign
These knotting pits drive me insane
Churning my stomach writhing in pain
Wish I could flush them down the drainDriving safely down the street
Intrusive thoughts that can’t be beat
I should be dead, no reason to be
No right to cry or even to breathe.
Hit the gas, then swerve into the tree.Is it real or make believe?
Drowning, twisting, squirming, tight
Tingling, torture, stinging, fightBiting, choking, scorching, spite
Dead-end turns, endless plight
Waste of time, waste of mightIt’ll be ok, I’ll be alright.
I wish I had seen; I wish I believed
truthfully
You have no power over me!Voting is closed

Wow! What a powerful poem that really captures the torment that negative and anxious thoughts have on us. The what-ifs and worries can escalate so quickly, becoming all-consuming… I know what that feels like. I hope you continue to break those negative thought patterns, because, as you said, they have no power over you!! <3 Juvi

Thank you very much Juvi! I truly wish I’d learned in my youth to break cycle. So much wasted imagination and time. Thank you for taking the time to read and reply!

Lexi Mae Edwards shared a letter in the
Poetry group 1 years, 1 months agoSparkle
Lexi MaeThere’s a sparkle that lights
when I look your way.
Catching me off guard
with how the work goes into play.
Sometimes I feel like I’m dreaming
when we’re with one another.
Something I’ve seen in the movies
but this time it’s with each other.
You light up my life
like a spark that I never knew I needed.
My mind ponders—
you’re the one who thought
I often drift too.
We’re still so young
so much ahead—
picturing these moments with you
is like a story
one I’m glad I can just apprehend.
Continuing to blossom
like the rose buds
in the early spring.
Due to the water
making sense why it rains so much
when we’re with one another.
God is just trying to shed light
among our sparkle,
allowing our blossom
into the upcoming.
Never thought it was possible
yet still grateful for the moments
the ones that are in the upcoming.
You being a space of security
a place I never thought I needed.
Showing me what it’s like
for one to care for another.
Making my heart
want to continue to spread.
Allowing you more
as we discover
who one another is.
The life we set
does not sound alarm.
Allowing my vulnerable self
to show through
making me smile
on the inside as well as out.
Creating peace
throughout our world.
The one where—
no worry—
letting me know
it’s okay.
Giving me reassurance
making me realize that
you really are going to stay.
Not that I didn’t think you wouldn’t;
you’re just there for my overthinking mind.
We will continue to grow
within our world—
one that is immaculate.
No matter what is thrown in our way—
we’ll figure it out
as we have each other.
Creating a space
to which no harm—
will come our way.-
Greetings, your poem beautifully captures the magic of love and the feeling of security it brings. The imagery and emotions you convey are both heartfelt and relatable, making us feel the depth of your connection. The way you describe growth and mutual support is touching and inspiring.

Lexi MaeLook at the obstacles you’ve surpassed
not once thinking this is where you’d be.
Despite all of the overcast
now kicking your feet with glee.
Getting past it all
anything tossed your way.
Funny that you were thinking you would fall
now the pressure is no longer a weigh.
I know that you see it
you opened that door.
Never giving in to quit
leaving your heart to wanting more.
We still have so much to learn
you can rest since it is no longer your turn.Voting is closed

Write A poem About Where And When You Feel Most At Peace 1 years, 1 months agoThe Space
Lexi MaeThe impact of my Romeo’s embrace
can send ease throughout the mind—
compiling a space of security.
Shockwaves sent within
outside leaves only a grin—
the impact of my Romeo’s embrace.
Allowing the spirit to roam free
across the buds that have been planted—
compiling a space of security.
Growing in the races
tangling up the two souls—
the impact of my Romeo’s embrace.
Following the direction the fingers intertwine
as we head towards the meadows—
compiling a space of security.
A path sent from the rain
only he knows the pain we with-stained:
the impact of my Romeo’s embrace—
compiling a space of security.Voting is closed

Awww, this piece is absolutely adorable. I love your use of repetition, like “compiling a space of security” and “my Romeo’s embrace”. It really helped emphasize the overall theme of your story and made it very easy to understand 🙂 Thank you for sharing!

Lexi Mae Edwards shared a letter in the
Women's Empowerment group 1 years, 2 months agoWith me
Lexi MaeI am the girl that can come off a bit clingy
Often scaring those who cross my path.
My thoughts may seem a bit stringy
Coming off to one like a bloodbath.
I will shoot for the stars
Providing those I love with my support.
Depending who looks you can see the scars
This makes some want to abort.
Giving my all with folks that let her through
As they becoming a part of the life.
There are pieces only few knew
I will occasionally show it all within a rife.
No one can tell me who I am
I do not follow a diagram.-
I absolutely relate to being the “clingy” friend. I wish I had your wisdom when I was your age. I loved it hearing for the first time tonight and I love it again reading and processing it in my own time.

Aww thank you! I am glad this piece of writing is one that you can correspond to!

Lexi Mae Edwards shared a letter in the
Magical Moments group 1 years, 2 months agoThe Knight
Lexi MaeThe knight elevates the princess
tightening his grasp midair
while they are lost in the brown waves.
Shifting the thread of hair behind
to gain a surpass of what the wave has inside—
the knight elevates the princess.
Giddying as the knight’s veins come through
the heat in the room leaves them breathless:
while they are lost in the brown waves.
The beats sync
taking the space away
the knight elevates the princess.
The grin grows uncontrollably
the palms leaving a trace:
while they are lost in the brown waves.
Continuing to go steady
as they snuggle close.
The knight elevates the princess
while they are lost in the brown waves. -

Lexi MaeHave I ever told you how proud I am?
Of each of the battles you have overcome
She thinks that her life is not up to par.
She’s a writer now
While her sport history is no more
Have I ever told you how proud I am?
Living with the mind battles
Due from the moments God throws her way:
She thinks that her life is not up to par.
Still waking up
Pushing past the hardships
have I ever told you how proud I am?
Have you seen how far you have grown
moments you thought would never surpass
She thinks that her life is not up to par.
If she only knew how great she’s doing
Which I think we’re finally within the place
Have I ever told you how proud I am?
She thinks that her life is not up to par. - Load More
