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. This community embraces sharing personal insights, and through forums such as #poetry and #writing, readers can contribute their thoughts, making poetry a collective experience. By participating in discussions surrounding such works, one not only enriches personal understanding but also actively supports the poetry community. Join in sharing your interpretations and reflections, inviting dialogue that brings deeper insight into the poetic forms that resonate with us all. Today’s poem sits at the intersection of raw emotion and reflective storytelling, offering readers a chance to feel seen and understood through the words crafted by the author.

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

I read this poem, I can relate to it ❤️‍🩹🥀
Do not speak to me of kindness— I have worn it like a chain; Given hearts with open palms… Only to be fed back pain. I was soft where I should not have been, Loyal past the point of scars; I mistook manipulation For the gravity of stars. For I— Loved with everything I knew, A soul so
