Today is my birthday… my blogging birthday. A year ago today, I posted my first few thoughts and now we are here together. I’m surprised I made it. Happy Birthday to all our secret thoughts! I wish I could shower you with gifts and watch your eyes light up, but I have no presents toContinue reading “26th April: My Birthday”

Self-rejection
Self-rejection sounds like the great name for a poem, but my own self-doubt won’t even permit me to pen a few awkward lines. I lock a chain on my words even before they have a chance to form in my mind, trek down my arm and through my fingers. I’m annoyed at my inability to forgettheContinue reading “Self-rejection”
Down
Shut it down Shut it down, shut it off. Removing one small page of poetry is of no importance nor any loss. No one will know and no one will care. To pretend any of it matters really isn’t fair. I am consumed by disgust for my own creativity and clumsy words. When I readContinue reading “Down”
A 9th Letter from Secrets
Hey you, let me start by saying that this letter is thanks to Navaparna from The Passionate Learner. She has nominated me for the Blogger Recognition Award. Answering the award questions and nominating other people aren’t things I feel comfortable doing, but I want to honour Navaparna and the sentiment behind the award. Therefore, IContinue reading “A 9th Letter from Secrets”

For those who have recently started following, instead of answering blogging award questions, I take a different approach to suit my own personal style. I prefer to write a letter, usually providing some insight into my creative process behind a piece that I have recently posted.Continue reading “A 6th Letter from Secrets”
A 4th letter from Secrets
I had a problem. I had two version of the same poem and I wasn’t sure which I should publish. I did think about hitting up one of my WP pals for their thoughts, but I really do try and leave them alone as much as possible. Then… then, The Knight with a Pen nominatedContinue reading “A 4th letter from Secrets”
A 2nd letter from Secrets (ST)
I know, gasp, a second letter. You can blame Manish Abburu at The Positivity Journal, because he nominated me for the Vincent Ehindro Blogger Award. His piece called Neuroplasticity is particularly interesting. Thank you Manish Abburu, I am honoured that you would think of me. Here is my response (in my own way) and IContinue reading “A 2nd letter from Secrets (ST)”
