I've been writing all my life, since I could read and hold a pen. Its only been in the last couple of years that friends and writing colleagues have encouraged me to submit work for publication. Slowly I've been finding success in getting work recognised in magazines and journals and at spoken word events. I'll post here as regularly as I can, posting poems that are new that I like or have achieved some success. I hope the writing engenders some understanding and encouragement #poetatheart

my life is not completely bad I just love whrighting these sad and very deep poems for some reason but some are very true plus people think i am a strange girl btw you know I had a picture that I drew well it won't let me change it back sadly. I am just looking for a good place To truly express my self in poetry I feel that I can just let all my pain and suffering out.

I USE POETRY TO ESCAPE REALITY ! its also very interesting to read and here other peoples opinions on it i am the age of 15 and have an amazing boyfriend who actually told me to make this account and post some of my poems please no hate comments I really DON'T need that have a nice day -Katelynn Dawn Boots

when i was little i would (and still am) read and write poetry and short story. through time i learned to put my thoughts and feelings into poetry and tell stories of my life through poetry. I am a poet that has been through the same feelings and difficulties as other people. And try to shine beauty on everyone. I love writing my poetry and see that people enjoy them.

Just another kid who loves to write. Writing is my escape from reality. Poetry is my way of expressing myself. It's a language that only few can understand. Yeah, you may not understand at first but then again, don't judge a book by its cover.
