Poets where are you

I stopped writing poetry consistently MANY moons ago, but a little while back (3 months ago??)

I got to writting. And I mean poems back to back, some 2 pages long. There should’ve been smoke coming from my pen. Some days im inspired more than others.. but to had felt it that intensely over a hobby I left alone years ago was crazy😆

Heres 1 short one thats sweet and cute, the rest in the vault still lol.

Currently searching for an app full of poems and short stories only, like Pinterest but for writers? Help me out 😅

In recent years, poetry has experienced a resurgence among writers and readers alike. With digital platforms playing a significant role, writers are returning to their poetic roots and exploring various forms of creative expression. The fascination with poetry is evident through the rise of poetry apps, social media challenges, and forums where poets can share their work and connect with each other. As many poets rediscover their passion, it’s important to recognize key elements that can enhance one’s writing journey. Techniques such as free writing can help spark creativity, while reading diverse poets can inspire new styles and perspectives. Furthermore, participating in local poetry events or online workshops can foster community and provide invaluable feedback. For those seeking dedicated platforms for poetry and short stories, options like Wattpad and WritersCafe allow users to explore and publish their work, creating a digital haven for writers. The importance of finding a supportive network cannot be underestimated, as collaboration and encouragement are pivotal in honing one's craft. The quote "And soon The pain will hurt a little less The grass will be greener The air a little sweeter You've reached the end Of this too Shall pass" by Twisted Jewlz resonates with many, illustrating that poetry often serves as an outlet for personal experiences and emotions. Whether you are a seasoned poet or someone just starting to explore the art of writing, the community is there to support you on your journey.

Some connections leave traces that linger like smoke, suffocating no matter where you sit by the fire. One last flame to spark your memory, to feel you one final time… then let it smolder into ash, letting the wind carry you far from me. #Lemon8Diary #poetry #soulscribed #poetsoflemon8
