Your silence
thunder in my heart
drawing words in my head
thoughts confused by dread
I silence myself
constrict my heart
erase the words
letters scatter apart.
I started a new blog to save all my poetry and poetry lessons. I will still use teachingyoungwriters.blogspot.com for all other things writing when it comes to young children, but it was time to get a space for my own words. Glad you stopped by.
Poetry Friday is hosted by Jama at Jama's Alphabet Soup!
Hey! Congrats on the new blog!
ReplyDelete"I Think in Poems" is a great name! Having a separate blog for your own work sounds like a good idea. I especially like "erase the words
ReplyDeleteletters scatter apart."
Betsy, congrats on the new blog! Isn't it nice to have a blog of one's own to keep one's words in? i like the strong visual at the end of your poem. Looking forward to coming back... :)

ReplyDeleteFun blog! Congrats on creating "a space for my own words" - something we all need. =)
ReplyDeleteLetters do have a tendency to scatter apart. Nicely done!
