Finding Your Voice (Different Ways I've Been Learning My "Voice")

            Sharing these poems together to show how I've been "finding my 'voice' " through different writing. May these poems empower and encourage someone else to "find their 'voice' " also. 

Poem 1.)

Two (An Acrostic Poem)


Trying to express in shorter ways,

Where time and energy are limited,

On the way to better results through intentionality.


Poem 2.)

Note About This Poem: This was me wondering if Acrostic and Hiaku styles could blend. Turns out they can. 

One (A Poetic Experiment Blending Acrostic And Hiaku)


One line of five times,

Nearing a new form to write,

Each line showing steps.


Poem 3.) 

Note About This Poem: Hiakus don't normally rhyme, I wanted to see what they'd look like if they did. 

Rhyming Hiakus (A Hiaku Experiment)


Rhyming Hiakus now,
Writing Hiakus somehow here,
Seeking change now near.


Note About This Poem (below): One day while doing work at someone's residence, I noticed a shop across the road. The loud sounds, the sacrifice of it's employees (of one interaction I witnessed from a distance personally) really struck me. This IS NOT a poem AGAINST traditional work at a nine-five type job; ONLY what thoughts (and maybe a revelation) were shown me when seeing it all unfold.

Poem 4.)

Do You Hear? (A Slightly Older Poem I Wrote)


Do you hear the horror anthems sounding;

danger dutifully dealing destruction upon peace?

Do you hear industry rip the calm of the day with progress,
leaving the outside world unsettled?
Do you feel the machine of society and the workplace attempt it's chilling symphony,
even call these rhythms normal?

I do;
and I watch and pray for the lives leaving families and comfort behind,
seeking to earn income.

What Isolation Sees (An Older Poem I Wrote)

Once thought alone, this is no longer, this faulty thought process, for eyes look upon me in a pensive mindset. Not the Infinite but the internal are found here though, myself shrouded in dark invisibility, face to face with this mysterious entity, one called isolation. He looks on me in silence, a silence that speaks volumes though no word is uttered. Examination of self is impressed upon me, for such is his influence on my being. I dare to look again at myself, along with isolation, and here do I look upon it all, good and bad alike. What isolation sees he shows me: faults and found strengths, skills I knew not I possessed, failings I was unaware of, ones buried deep within me, ones hidden well inside. This mysterious one isn’t a curse, and in his presence I find myself again, I begin again to right myself, and here I am being made whole once more. What isolation sees isn’t always bad, nor is what he shows, these blessed ways from the Infinite, ways to make us better, better if we a...

Just Write (How To Create When You're Beginning And Feeling Overwhelmed)

               You’re stuck. You feel empty. Overthinking seeks to imprison you; you can’t be shackled though, unless you don’t try. Just write. Don’t worry if it’s perfect, or even how much you will be able to write. Listen as you do, listen as that “inner writer” speaks (for they will) and words will arrive to meet you. First a few words will gather together, one by one, making complete pictures; small actions to a bigger result of greater writing. The little will grow, and so will your confidence. Just write.                  Just a word at a time while remembering to keep writing. Soon paragraphs will be seen. One word will become two and sentences will gather together becoming paragraphs. Just write. You will encounter overwhelming perfection call out loudly on your journey, attempting to stop you….this is where you need to remember you can edit later. Just write. It will be beautiful, the complete...

I Will Stand My Ground

        Light breaks through as clouds of despair are pierced, as hope begins to shine bright again, fierce and unrelenting. Life enters with the wind where change casts it's welcome breezes, and here I breathe in this refreshing shift of resolve.         Small steps are taken toward the dawning of renewal, a faith restored again as a good to be is reassured and seen in parts with each movement to healing; healing to grace for the broken, direction for the lost...for us all.
