Poetry Inspired My Life

Tweet

On top of my passion for Photography and Art, I am also a writer and I'd like to believe that although I'm far from perfect.... I think I do decently well. My very first love of writing began with poetry. Emily Dickinson was my all time favorite poet. At the time I was a teenager with so many challenges and issues that her poetry always seem to capture my own feelings so perfectly. I was fascinated by her work. Today, the poet I admired the most was Maya Angelou. She had such an understanding to life and her writing expressed the pride and strength of being a woman in this world. Writing has always come quite easily for me but expressing myself verbally was a whole other monster I could not master. so I wrote.... a lot. Here is just one of the poems I wrote when I was in my twenties. I AM A WOMAN I am a woman of many talents.... A woman of intelligence never understood. I am a woman with a heart That reaches beyond the soul- To feel what others feel.... But I am never sought out. I am a woman lost in a world Of self-greed and self-gain Because all I want to do is give. I am a Woman A Mother and a wife..... I am a teacher, a cook, and a doctor; I am a disciplinarian and a problem-solver. I am an unending provider for the needs of others- A constant supply of love and care. I am a woman that the world May never know about..... A valuable soul lost to this selfish world. A Creator of Life.... I am a Woman. ©Mistyck Moon
