Good evening, Cyberspace!
Today I’m going to be doing something that I’ve talked about doing quite a while now, but haven’t gotten around to actually executing.
I am going to share a poem that I wrote with you.
Now, I know I mentioned opening up a Poet’s Corner a while ago (because, seriously, how cool does that name sound???), but after being honest with myself, I really haven’t written enough poems in my life to consider myself that big of a poet. In fact, the total number of poem’s under my belt is a grand tally of four.
Four poems. And one of them is about a cold virus.
So yeah. As much as I love writing poetry, and I hope that my folder of completed poems continues to grow, I’m not going to be starting the Poet’s Corner at this precise moment. Maybe someday, but not today.
Today, I’d just like to share one of the poems that I wrote with you guys. I wrote this particular poem a few months ago for school, and it actually was inspired by one of my favorite celestial objects: the stars. There’s just something so magical and mysterious about the night sky, and it remains one of my greatest inspirations when it comes to poetry, or just writing in general.
So, without further ado, I give to you The Song of Stars…
I stand beneath a midnight sky
With darkness as my friend,
And stare at silver pools of light
That dance upon the wind.
Like flashing scales in a stormy sea
Lost in the foaming waves,
The stars sing me hushed melodies
That softly drift away.
Their voices light and splintered
Like the sound of crackled glass,
In the dark they whisper
To me fables of the past.
Guardian angels in the sky
Hear wishes of the lost
And guide them home by pale starlight
Back to what they love the most.
I stay all night watching the stars
Till morning finally comes,
And hear their voices drift afar,
Shattered lines of crystal songs.
I stand beneath a midnight sky
As night draws to an end
And to the stars whisper goodbye,
For they are now my friends.
I
Absolutely
Loved
This
So
Much
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Keep writing poetry, my friend, I’d love to hear more.
I actually enjoy writing poetry, but I never get around to it, so my poetry collection is around like six or something…. not very impressive.
Oooooooh *catches cookies and munches appreciatively*
Thanks for posting! <3 <3 <3 <3

Oh my word, thank you SO much!!! That means so much to me!!
I know, right? Poetry is just so…weird. It’s a little bit more twisty than normal fiction, and it centers around a single subject, rather than a multitude of plotlines. It definitely makes for a nice break after writing dialogue and description and action all the time, haha! And six is better than four!!!
Wait a second… Aren’t Tris and Tobias from Divergent Six and Four?????
*mindblown*

KENZIEEEEEEEE!!!
All I can say is if all four poems are THIS GOOD you will be the next Emily Dickinson instead of me even though I have written about two million. Seriously. Mine are complete rubbish compared with this. Most of them don’t even rhyme… HOW DID YOU MANAGE THAT, BY THE WAY????
IT WAS GORGEOUS, DEAR. Keep up the good work! :)💙

Awwwww! You just completely made my day!!! You are way too sweet, haha!
And I highly doubt that your poems are rubbish!!!!! I bet you are absolutely amazing, and trust me, this is, like, the best one I wrote. I also wrote one about Pluto that I think I’m gonna post next week, and that one doesn’t rhyme!
I’m not exactly sure how I wrote it… It just kind of…happened? I think I wrote down a bunch of words and word-pictures that described the stars for me, and then I just sort of worked from that, haha!
Thank you so SO much!!!

Ahhhh! So you “plot out” your poems??? Mine kind of just… HAPPEN so I guess that’s why they rarely rhyme. :) Looking forward to the next one!!!

Ooh! Yes! That’s a good way to put it! The rhyming part sort of just comes together with a few hours of ferocious pondering, haha! Poems are tons of fun!
Aww!! Thank you!!! I’m excited to post another!

*eats cookies* I seriously love your final line. (And the rest of the poem!!) The imagery is lovely!
Also, can I just say how impressed I am that you were able to make it rhyme so beautifully? Rhyming poetry is sooo difficult for me to write.

Oh wow, thank you SO much!!! You are way too kind! :D
Aww, thank you! Rhyming poetry really is hard. It’s weird, sometimes it just happens so naturally for me, and other times it doesn’t work out AT ALL. Poetry itself is a weird form of writing, but I enjoy experimenting with it!
