Hi everyone,
Welcome to 365 Days of Poetry & Honesty <3 I hope you've been good. I know it's been a couple of weeks, but I'm happy to be back! Like I said in the last newsletter, this month is difficult for me, so I've just been trying to take it day-by-day, and so far so good. In fact lots of good things are happening, and I'll share them with you all in due time, but I'm also very anxious in response, like I feel like I'm waiting for things to fall apart, because they literally just can at any moment but you know, I need to practice living in the present and I need focus on what's in front of me at the moment, which looks like brighter days ❤️
Here are my songs of the week!
Monday
Not that there's anything wrong with falling part, but it's what I’m afraid of at the moment and with this poem, I read June Jordan’s (which is below) and it spoke to me in that I felt comforted by the fact that even when things have gone to pieces in the past, my body has carried me through it & i’m still standing.
Tuesday
the titles tend to come after and this one, i finished it & i heard a little voice calling it 'sad girl's love song', and later on I remembered this poem - ‘Mad Girl’s Love Song’ by Sylvia Plath, which is a beautiful poem, and my subconscious was obviously inspired!
Wednesday
for old times’ sake
will you tell me you love me ?
Thursday
the past couple of weeks = lots of tears
Friday
sssssssssexy !!
Saturday
lots of reminding myself that i’m not alone!
Sunday
Two poems by Henry Dumas. I’m in love! The imagery, nature, it's beautiful !
Thank you for reading this week’s newsletter. Let me know your thoughts on the poems ❤️
With love,
Phoenix
