Welcome, Fantasy Nerds! Last week we shared a list of our favorite poems with you. This week we decided to write our own poems, especially for this post. We are both fairly new to writing poetry, so this is a bit of an experiment. We hope you enjoy it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes – Clever<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forget that I <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have wings to fly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above it all

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forget that I<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can close my eye<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not see the fall

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are always watching<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pettiness, cruelty, envy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evil

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can choose to see<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this world

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can choose to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this world

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lost – WTF<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The skies above<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Earth Below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am in between<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not knowing where to go

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel lost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel this the most<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what pulls me through<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is that I am not alone

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My family, my friends<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My lover, my pets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are there for me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until the bitter end

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But most of all<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have myself<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been through it all<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been there for every step

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I look in the mirror<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I feel lost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I nod at the woman I see<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And tell her she is loved

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do You Think?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you tried writing poetry before? Do you write poems frequently? We think it\u2019s great for an author\u2019s creativity to try our new forms of writing. If you decide to try your hand at poetry, let us know how it goes! We\u2019d also love to hear your thoughts on our poems! If you enjoyed this post, feel free to buy us a coffee. We promise to share!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks so much for reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
