Poem #35: "Detective"
A poem inspired by a very ordinary walk. I intended to practice using short lines when writing this piece and I'm quite happy with how it turned out! :)
I bring my passion for poetry to the internet.
Poems are a beautiful way to make sense of life, even if they might not make sense at first. Poems play with language in ways that make it feel more expressive, specific, versatile, and most importantly, enjoyable. Simply, the joy of making enjoyable poetry motivates me to write.
Sometimes I write about other stuff, in prose.
I try to add work biweekly (once every two weeks)!
