Poem of the day

2024/5/9 Edited to

... Read moreIn today's poem, the author paints a vivid picture of emotional struggle and the complexity of relationships. The imagery of 'dipping toes into a frozen lake' signifies the fear and hesitation in letting oneself feel deeply. The aquatic metaphor, with a person swimming 'beneath the ice,' evokes the feelings of being submerged in one's emotions while longing for connection. This poem emphasizes the struggle of expressing feelings that often remain unspoken. Engaging with poetry allows individuals to navigate their inner landscapes and communicate sentiments that are hard to articulate. The art of poetry serves as a bridge to understanding our vulnerabilities and building connections with others who feel similarly.

Poem: Sadness is a Parasite
Sadness Is a Parasite Sadness is a parasite— it drains joy quietly. It starts small: a bad day, a forced smile. But it grows. It multiplies, spreads, sinks into every corner of your mind. Even sunlight turns gray. Bad days become weeks, then months, then years. Forced smiles fa

A Poem for Soft Tummy Girls 🫀
It was believed that the most beautiful women, goddesses, were to have fuller figures and round faces. Look at any statue of Aphrodite and she has a tummy, round cheeks, and often a softer double chin 🫀 The goddess in the first slide was exactly that, a goddess, rolls and thighs, and all 🥰 #godd

POEM OF THE DAY 7.21.24
Love's a garden, takes some care, Not just sunshine in the air. Weeds will grow, storms will blow, Sometimes harder than you know. Days of laughter, nights of tears, Building trust through all the years. Hands get dirty, hearts get bruised, But in the end, love's never used. So
