#80 I Wish Poetry Came Easily.
#80 I wish poetry came easily.
Bright words that could naturally sweep through me.
Like intoxicating and wonder filled seas.
Of lavender, teal and parsnip creme
Trickle from page from pen, from pen to me.
I wish the dam was never closed.
Inspiration endless but an eb and flow,
Not brilliant wet flashes then dry lonely stones.
Then the dam’s tight as a dish and I am alone.
Left to smack at cement and wait in the cold
For the stones to split apart and invite me to explore the sea.
But I fumble and stumble, push pen forward on.
I keep writing haiku, couplet or song,
With remaining words, mediocre and oblong as can be.
And I feel new stream beds forming beneath me.

To try to do anything in this day and age is courageous. Even if you suck at least you’re fucking doing something. You’re creating something. You are doing SOMETHING. That in itself is a courageous act.
Greetings bugs and worms!
This comic is a little different than what I usually do but I worked real hard on it—Maybe I'll make more infographic stuff in the future this ended up being fun. Hope you learned something new :)
If you are still curious and want to learn more about OCD, you can visit the International OCD Foundation's website. I also recommend this amazing TED ED video "Starving The Monster", which was my first introduction to the disorder and this video by John Green about his own experience with OCD.
The IOCDF's website can also help you find support groups, therapy, and has lots of online guides and resources as well if you or a loved one is struggling with the disorder. It is very comprehensive!
Reblog to teach your followers about OCD
(But also not reblogging doesn't make you evil, silly goose)
did you guys see the poem from a couple of days ago in poetry dot org’s daily poem it was so good and a treat to read
over and over, by me
i was having thoughts so i made a poem about them
adhd is fun bc everything I got taught is backwards
a good day makes good sleep
starting with a lil treat gets the work done
More things to do is less overwhelming
don’t make a plan just get in there
you’ll never take good care of what you don’t like so throw it out (this one is my favorite bc it’s easy to see what you don’t like)
there's a philosophical message in there somewhere but I'm too hungry and sweaty to think of it
Based on a conversation with @perfectpossumprincess and @d-d-disgusting about a mad little mantidfly they found
A lot of people ask me what my biggest fear is, or what scares me most. And I know they expect an answer like heights, or closed spaces, or people dressed like animals, but how do I tell them that when I was 17 I took a class called Relationships For Life and I learned that most people fall out of love for the same reasons they fell in it. That their lover’s once endearing stubbornness has now become refusal to compromise and their one track mind is now immaturity and their bad habits that you once adored is now money down the drain. Their spontaneity becomes reckless and irresponsible and their feet up on your dash is no longer sexy, just another distraction in your busy life. Nothing saddens and scares me like the thought that I can become ugly to someone who once thought all the stars were in my eyes.
If you follow Selmers to the poetry society meeting in Night In The Woods, this is her poem. I loved it and the themes of the game, and wanted to use it as practice to see if i can control the way readers ‘hear’ the words through images.
