A to Z: Q is for Queen


Here are a few poems that may or may not be inspired by poetic asides and may or may not start with the letter Q:

Quiet

Today is quiet
I can't think of a thing to write
my quill is empty and so is my mind
after writing all those other poems
of friends and camp

But I'm not going to quit
there'll be a comeback.

Burn

At first you may think
you got burned
but in reality
it's a lesson to be learned.

Queen

They call me the iPad queen
just because I was the first to use it at school
and was smart in figuring out how to use it and more

But I don't like being called an iPad queen
it may be a little part of me
but I don't feel it's me

I shouldn't be attached to material things
and shouldn't be loved for material things
I should be loved for my personality
and I do see that happening

Things are changing and so is this
but no matter what I'm among
many queens of the faith I follow.

I was listening to music while reading the last poem and it felt like a song. Went with the beats and stuff. Haha

"My quill is empty" Nice. I'm not sure I've ever experienced that, though I have suffered from "my brain is empty" syndrome. I think zombies suffer from that too...or maybe they just deal with "my brain is gone" syndrome. Hmm.

I like the quill is empty too. Not so empty as you might think! :)

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human.

How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings.
