why write?

I have to write what I hear in my head, what I dream in my sleep, what my bones ache to express.

My poems tell stories of strength, love, regret, disobedience, loss, hope, redemption, and whatever whispers.

—Cindy B. Stevens

I try to post every six days . . .

 

I try to post every six days.  Yesterday was the sixth day and for several days now, I’ve tried to pull my thoughts together to share a poem.  All day yesterday, nothing.  My mentor tells me not to explain my poetry; and I won’t explain why I’m struggling with words these days.  Tragedy and I know each other, but this dark place is by far my hardest road.
