Poetry group 7 months agoLeft my Heart
Michael L George jrWalking this Earth,
Taking the (E and h)
Out. Creating “Art”
Then ill rearrange the letters,
Putting the “h” in front,
As I leave a piece of my
“Heart” here on this Earth.-
I love how you switched the word “heart” around. I never thought or broke this word down as creatively as you presented it in this poem. One can analyze the heart in several ways, whether through different art forms, natural characteristics, the earth’s enormous heart, or how someone speaks to others. This poem was a short, creative way to…read more

Michael L George jrWhat you see is what you get.
If I’m showing interest
You probably feel it,
If Im ignoring, you’ve
Lost my interest.
I’m no longer seeking
Another relationship.
I’m now looking for my “best friend”
As she will do all the goofey
Things laugh and play,
Argue and disagree
while still remaining
A friend in need.
That’s the only relationship
I’m looking for.
What you see is what you get.
Somedayz I’m confident,
Other’s seem like auto pilot.
Somedayz I’m quiet,
Stuck in my thoughts
Lost in my head
Probably feeling a Lil depressed.
Somedayz I’m happy As can be
Feeling like,
Nothing can bother me.
And there are
Somedayz that I could feel
All of these feelings.
What you see is what you get.-
Michael, thank you for being so outspoken in this poem. It is a great encouragement never to change who you are, no matter what perspectives people have on you. “What you see is what you get” is a compelling quote in today’s world. It resonates with you, staying grounded in your image and your personality and not letting anyone deteriorate you…read more

Thanks there were lots
Of ups & downs that lead,
To this point. I guess only
Experience can defy the meaning.
But thanks for putting the effort
Into reading!

Michael L George jrIt’s almost as if
My surroundings shift and change.
Especially when I
Apply, a specific amount
Of pressure.
The ones I tried to integrate
Seemed to drift away.
A friendship is what remains.. -
michae1 shared a letter in the

Michael L George jrJust because you have
A few scars, does not
Make you worth less.
Just consider it, experience,
It shows you ain’t new to this.
Know your worth!
Because “some “, like to make
You feel worthless.
You are worthy of anything
Your value can only increase.
With time invested,
Definitely makes it worth it. -

Michael L George jrIncredibly beautiful experience
To be still,
Watching the wind
Dance in the leaves.
Watching it move the trees.
Watching it move and shape
The clouds. Just intaking the moment,
Breathing in & out.
Gone with the wind,
Watching & inhaling natural beauty. -

Michael L George jrTime for a new prospect
Have my eyes on a couple.
Might Burts a few bubbles, just
To see if it is worth the trouble,
Taking a chance.
Making some plans,
With some Subtle demands
But….
Only time will tell if it’s prosperous.-
I am a big believer in trying as many things as possible. You never know what sticks. I saw this story about the musician Benson Boone, who sings this song I like called, “Beautiful Things.” At 17, he randomly filled in for a friend at a talent show and realized, to his own surprise, he could really sing. He didn’t know. He never really tried…read more

Thank you for appreciating
My art. I do believe in continued
Tries without experiencing
Trying new there is only imagination that’s bad either.
That’s where all the ideas
Come from is imagination.
But yes you’ll never know unless you try.

michae1 shared a letter in the
Poetry group 7 months, 2 weeks agoThe Journey is the Destination!
Michael L George jrConversation for reciprocation
But don’t follow my suggestions.
I’m self healing self medicating.
To follow this you’re gonna need
A deeper understanding.
I have a few books I recommend you read.
If you can understand it
Let me know what you think.
I was brought to the brink.
Had to broaden my prospective.
Then became empathetic,
Eccentric to the public.
With these feelings exerted
Comes exertion.
Had to explore while reciprocating
Information & understand,
“The Journey is the Destination”. -
michae1 shared a letter in the
Poetry group 7 months, 2 weeks agoNew Project
Michael L George jrI use to hate writing
But I think it was the action.
Now, I’m writing with
My thumb, never cared for penmanship
Or my grammar & punctuation.
I liked drawing, took my time with it.
Now I’m creating different images.
Writing these words
From past experiences.
You can see this projection.
Working on a new project.
My prerogative turned poetic.
Forget the pen, man, ship. These thoughts,
You can hear & see this plot.-
I actually didn’t like to write growing up either, but then I started using writing to express what it was in my heart and it changed everything. And I feel like that is the same for you. Keep writing. Keep sharing. I love reading all of your poems. <3Lauren

Write a letter to your younger self about a. challenge you faced as a child but have since overcome 7 months, 3 weeks agoLooking back, thankfully
Michael L George jrThankful for the times
I wanted to quit &
Never did.
Sometimes I felt mentally
Exhausted. Sometimes I had achs &
Pains, Other times I let
Anxiety push me
Away. Or i let the depression
Sink in, feeling tired and looking sick.
But the thought of giving up,
Only brought anger and disappointment.
So I’m writing this poem to give thanks
& I hope I inspire others to do the same.Voting is closed

Michael, the fact that you can look back and be thankful that you didn’t give up says everything about your life now! I am glad that you had the strength to persevere even when you didn’t think you could. Sometimes all we need to do is not give up. Thank you for sharing your story!

Michael L George jrSpelling out my feelings
Casting a spell.
But there’s no magic here.
Only darkness being Suppressed.
With an extremely bright light
Pointing towards the direction I’m heading.
Concentrated with reflection
The colors coming out of a prism.
Im like a leprechaun chasing the gold
At the end of the rainbow.
After the dark Grey clouds dissipate,
You can see the colors start to
Take shape. -

michae1 shared a letter in the
Poetry group 7 months, 3 weeks agoTime well spent
Michael L George jrTime is expensive,
I’m carful who I spend it with.
If I choose to to splurge,
I’ll want to buy some time to
Spend with you.
I have an urge to purge
& surge towards you.
Now I’m submerged in your aroma.
Hot like a sauna.
Had to pause for a second,
Spend a few more minutes,
Then add up the hours we spent.-
Michael, I love the first two lines of your poem: Time is expensive, I’m careful who I spend it with. This is such a beautiful sentiment. Rather than spending our time with people who don’t matter as much to us, we should all focus on “buying” more time with those that do. I also like how you feel “submerged” in the person that you are with during…read more

Michael L George jrHeartfelt for love,
Optimistic about it.
Persuading the scent of it,
Ecstatic! About the expression of this.-
Michael, I love the way you describe the joy of finding new love. When we are able to just focus on our feelings at the beginning, we can find a level of hope and optimism that is harder to reach later on. The excitement of falling in love, though scary, is enough to soften even the hardest of hearts. Thank you for sharing!

michae1 shared a letter in the
Poetry group 7 months, 3 weeks agoThe Time I've spent
Stepping away from everyone. I’ve
Lost temper, I cope with isolation.
My self destruction, ironically.
Helped me, come to self healing,
Self awareness, & self acceptance.
I choose to live this way,
It’s your choice to partake.
Sometimes our mistakes
Bring us closer, to our destination.
Comming to a crossroad,
These words are put together
For an explanation. Just don’t expect
It not, to come to an end.
With time, comes expiration,
Feelings are outdated.
But can be experienced from time to time
From a memory stored within the mind.
Energy flows through the Crevices
Under the cranium, through
Our central nervous system.
Can be Intensified through meditation,
Practice persistence, not perfection.-
Michael, you are so right that our mistakes can sometimes bring us closer to our destination. Sometimes it takes getting something wrong to figure out what is right. I also agree that we should focus on persistence instead of perfection. We will never reach perfection, but with persistence we can get close. Thank you for sharing!
