Autumn shared a letter in the
Poetry group 5 days, 16 hours agoSpring Comes Again
Autumn DavidsonThe last flower on the tree
sits proudly
waits patiently
feels lonely.
The breeze has been growing colder in the nights
And compared to August the sun shines not so warmly, nor so bright.
The flower knows that she will fall when the time is right
for all must make that journey towards the darkness from the light.

Poetry group 1 week, 4 days agoRoads
Jamell CrouthersThe man understands life is a long road,
Driving down the highway to different paths.
Coming across forks in the road and having to make decisions,
Which road is the right one to take on our journey.
The journey is getting to where we want to be,
And sometimes we have to go a different route than others.
The roads will be full of bumps and…read more-
I love the analogy and I love how you ended it “Sometimes the journey is longer than we expect it to be.
As long as we are able to keep driving the car,
Staying focused will allow us to embark on a long journey to greatness.” I fell like at some point or another we have all felt this and needed to hear this message. Thank you for sharing. <3 Lauren-
Thanks so much Lauren, I appreciate it greatly! Life is a continuous journey of growth. Analogy poetry is something I love to write, it helps put life in perspective sometimes!

Rashan SpellerLost in a whimsical realm of ethereal shadows,
I find myself captivated, unable to escape this mesmerizing pandemonium.
Ensnared within a labyrinth of disheartenment and forsakenness,
The echoes of desolation reverberate through the very air I breathe.From within me, arises an ardent yearning,
A desperate longing for a guiding star to emancipate…read more -

Aiyanna JonesTime
Often taken for granted
It always manages to pass us by
So when you could days without talking to me
I was always understanding and always on your sideI neglected both my heart and my emotional intelligence
Because love can make us blind, but I was never fully lost
Part of me could still decipher your lies from the truth
And finally, the…read more-
Aww Aiyanna, I have soooo been there. One day at a time. Each day will get a little easier. Just never ever compromise your standard. You are wonderful and you should be treated as such. Keep marching forward. Hold your head high. And on to the next (as I would tell myself). <3 Lauren

Wow, this was deep and made me reflect back on some experiences in my life. The line of having butterflies turn into moths was great! Love this piece, it makes you think.

Thank you so so much! I wrote this piece about leaving an unhealthy situationship that I felt stuck in for quite some time. I am so glad that you loved it. <3

Oh, so soon I fall devoured?
All is fair,

love had lost its power“Oh, promise me you will never tell another”

Pretty Dee ✌🏽💕✨I love the rain
To other people it might be a pain
But for me it’s joy
Like a kid with a new toy
I guess life prepared me to be
This wayCause I had to learn to
Find peace in my rain
And find my calm in the middle of my storm
And See the beauty in it
Cause I’ve learned that
storms not only come to ravage
But also to restore and to rep…read more-
DeAndrea, This is so good and so true. Interestingly enough, my grandfather always told me rain was good luck. And as it turns out my boyfriend’s name means God of rain. This poem is thoughtfully and beautifully written. Thank you for sharing. <3 Lauren

Thank you. That’s really cool because my grandma used to always say it was God showering blessings in the spiritual realm. Water in whatever state is always so inspirational to me.

AWww I love that. I bet you somewhere up there your grandma and my grandpa were friends. My grandpa had quite the personality! Every time it rains, I think of him <3

Dee,
I love this poem, the imagery, analogies to life. It paints a picture of life and how nature works. These are the poems that make you think about life and appreciate how rain is a good thing.

TawannaThey say karma will come back strong,
kicking butt, taking names, and applying pressure.
They say karma is real and it won’t take long
for the things you did to come to terms.
They say karma gets all those that’s done wrong,
coming through like a boomerang.
But then I had an enigma.
The energy shifts and takes over my mind, and gives me answers…read more -

Malak Kalmoni ChehabThe lion lays quietly atop an overhanging hill.
He waits, watches in the vain fervor that his prey
Will come to him in deadly night like a diet pill

Of their ferocity and ability to tear apart an arm,
Or important extremities that flash…read more -

no need to hide
it is safe to explore my emotional side.
Inner-eye, before I burst, who is first in this madness?
