Paint Me BeautifulShow poetry

My name is Amber, I am 25, I am from San Diego.

I write because it keeps me busy

Some of my favorite poets are:

Anaïs Nin
Carl Sandburg
D.H. Lawrence
Dorothy Parker
Maya Angelou
Robert Frost
Sylvia Plath
William Carlos Williams


Some of my favorite quotes:

"If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it." -Anaïs Nin

"I write only because there is a voice within me that will not be still." -Sylvia Plath

"Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance."
-Carl Sandburg

"Poetry is what gets lost in translation."
-Robert Frost



These are a few of my favorite poems:

Unfortunate Coincidence:

By the time you swear you're his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying ---
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying.

-Dorothy Parker


Risk:
 
And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to Blossom.

-Anaïs Nin
