I’m studying voice right now and writing a lot more poetry. I’ll admit this isn’t the voice I’m used to hearing from myself. It’s raw and unedited. I usually reserve those pieces for my journal. November is the whole national write a novel month. Rather than write a novel, I’m going to gather, edit, and write my first poetry book. It’s time.
I Believe
I believe that if our eyes meet across a crowded room and my heart flutters you either have a flask in your pocket or a criminal record.
I believe that love is a choice and not always an easy one. I believe in skinny dipping, the beauty of the human form, the healing power of creating art, and that laughter is a gift. I believe that green tea is a lousy alternative to a good cup of coffee, that God is real, that I have a purpose even if I don’t always know what it is. I believe that life can only be lived in the now. What was, was. Don’t look back. Trust should be earned and blind trust is detrimental to the soul, that gossip can ruin lives, there are no accidents, there is no such thing as a do-over button, but there are second chances, being able to say goodbye is just as important as saying hello, and I believe that while some fear is healthy

Just my own opinion, I like it all including (and actually especially) the beginning and end.

There once was a lady in Tulsa
Who searched for comedy’s pulsa
She told a joke here
and told a joke there
And found that she is never dullsa

Honest opinion…most of this is very good and makes perfectly good sense (the middle section). BUT, on the other hand, some of it is a bit degrading and should be edited out (the beginning and the end).
Love you!
