WELCOME ...to My Corner of ALLPOETRY
I write mostly freestyle poetry and find it to be an emotional release, more so than an endeavor for artistic style, although I do attempt to improve the artistic aspect as well. My writing is sometimes from personal experience and sometimes an insight to others' experiences. I also enjoy delving into the minds of others and making an attempt to understand different lifestyles or different ways of thinking.
Life has been my muse. It's taken many turns - sometimes slapping me in the face and sometimes leaving a tender touch. I've learned many valuable lessons and have grown, from both.
Any constructive critiques or comments are welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you to all of my faithful and encouraging readers. You inspire me to continue writing. Thank you to those who have offered friendship and support as well...
~Kathy

My Poetry
-
Settled in a playground of safety
relishing in comfort of the confines -
Shadows veil / upon unlaid ghosts / spread densely across / an unsettled sea / Crash the cold winds / against waves of thirst / dreams fragmented and lost / in the searching / Rumbling tides devour
