We write poems.
We read poems.
Many of us can relate with the feeling from a poem.
Some know poets.
Some are poets.
Many can relate with the feelings of a poet in specific situations.
But,
How often do we talk about poems and our personal experiences with poetry,
Either as a writer or reader, as a speaker or listener?
Let us stop writing for a moment.
Let us stop reading for some minutes.
And speak. And listen.
Not about lines and stanzas,
Or about rhymes and rhythm,
But about our personal encounters with poetry and how it has shaped us.
Join us on My Poetry and I,
Every Monday, 08:00PM WAT
And share your experiences with poetry and how it has translated to your reality.

The starting line is always crowded with dreams.
Everyone sees the trophy.
Everyone imagines the applause.
But desire begins the race,
Endurance finishes it.
When the cheers fade,
When the road grows steep,
When doubt comes to keep company —
That is where winners are separated
From wishers.
For many desire the crown at the beginning,
But greatness belongs to those
Who keep running.
Never give up!

When you fail to speak up when due, another person will steal your spotlight.
You can love someone and not know it,
like the day I almost lost him—
eyes locked, their shared laughter
in a distant kitchen.
Rage, shielding the fear in my ribs.
Knowing myself whole
yet falling through the missing piece.
(Unease) latent in the thorns
of a rose night in winter.
He is far—so far—
and impossibly, he is also here:
subtle, sure,
softening every exhale,
cradling my descent to sleep.

When grief weighs heavily, we sew them in words.
It lightens the burden of the heart.

she had the gift
to sew in her longings
between the poetry
her pages bound by
a web of bones that
remembered storms
words that left
the door half-open,
ringing with memories
she had the gift
to stitch her grief
into heirlooms

Nature will not level you up, rather, it'll meet you at the level you place yourself.
There's a reason a 25 year old married man is capable of feeding two mouths, and a 25 year old bachelor is struggling to feed a mouth, despite earning more than the married one.
Nature doesn't give us what we want, it gives us what we deserve.

Good morning.
The birds don't wait
for certainty to sing.
The sun doesn't wait
for permission to rise.
And life doesn't wait
until you're ready.
Start anyway.
Still searching...
Still walking...

Less than 15mins to go.
Come, join us and share your opinions with us.
Every day, life hands us moments that ache, heal, inspire, frustrate, and transform us. Yet many of these experiences never find their way into poems. They never find relatable expressions:
Is it the struggle to keep going?
The quiet sacrifices no one sees?
The joy of ordinary conversations?
The weight of waiting? The beauty hidden in routine?
Using the link below, set a reminder and join us on X space tomorrow night, on My Poetry and I Forum at 08:00PM WAT. Share your thoughts, stories, and reflections. Let's uncover the everyday experiences that deserve a place in poetry:

We sincerely apologize for our inability to hold this last Monday. We know you were excited to share your experiences and waited for it, however, it didn't hold.
This account has been inactive for the past few days, and this is not without reason. We are working on developing ourselves to present and represent poetry better. Thank you for being here.
On this note, we will be having this quoted discussion tomorrow at 08:00PM WAT. Join us.
