RunningFreeShow poetry

Hi there!

I am a triathlete who loves being outdoors. For those of you who don't know, triathlon is a combined sport of swimming, cycling and running. My hope is to write more poetry based on the experiences of being athletic and of the outdoors. I have one poem so far about my favorite triathlon that I have done about 5 or 6 times. There is also a haiku style poem about my favorite running trail.

I really enjoy poems that express and evoke a deep emotional response. In opinion, it takes a certain level of being present to bring a deep level of meaning forward from inside to present it on the page. Anyone that can do that deserves commendation.

Most of the poetry that I have posted here was written about 10-15 years ago when I was a teenager / young adult. Some of it was a way for me to express myself after suffering from an abusive childhood. If you are also a survivor, please know that some of the poetry can be triggering.

You will find some love poems and other goodies within my poetry. Please take a look and tell me what you think.

Smiles!

    I am sorry - I meant to say, your Mother-in-law. I was thinking that at first, but kept thinking I was wrong. Should have believed myself. See!
