Poem: Free Verse – “Wildfire” #amwritingpoetry #godoggocafe

Credit: Toa Heftiba via Unsplash. I am a wildfire, A star that effervesces and multiplies; Miracle of light. Seeking love despite, for my innate wildness. I am a wildfire, And untamed with light despite, Treacherous treks through crumbling peaks, Shadows of the dimmest valley's bleak. Glowing through the vast unbroken wilderness. I am a wildfire, …

Poem: Free Verse – “Knowing Why” #amwritingpoetry #GDGC

Credit: ORIENTO via Unsplash I don’t know why there’s disease, Why cells kill each other. Why our immune systems turn, Or our brains suck too much cortisol; Too little or too much Seratonion. I don’t know why the world’s fractured, And all these bad things terribly matter. I don’t know why we love, but love’s …

Poem: Shell Silverstein – “Where the Sidewalk Ends” #GoDogGoCafe #poetry #poets

Happy Monday! I'm not sure if I've shared this poem on here. When I was six-years-old, in grade one, my teacher used to read us Shell Silverstein poems in class. I had the same teacher, Mrs. Allarie, for grades one, two, and three, so I was able to here a few books worth of Shell …

Poem: Free Verse – “Kites in Flock” #amwriting #poetry #GoDogGoCafe
