In my minimalism purge, I came across my poetry journal and thought I would share a few. I feel a little naked doing this, so I probably won’t post a ton. Let me know what you think! Do any of you like to write poetry?

I go through phases. I won’t write at all for months, and suddenly I’ll feel inspired and just scribble out a few for no apparent reason.

happiness

a simple smile from you

calms my spirit

yet heats up my body

until it will boil over

if i am further deprived of your touch

surf

just like the waves

of the tumbling ocean

you are unpredictable

sometimes you rush to me

but just as sneakily you pull away

how can i believe that

the pattern will break?

when i suspect that only i will
