Blogging A to Z: Elizabeth (An Acrostic Poem)

Emotions flow through me
Like the wind blowing through trees
Is that metaphor too stupid?
Zigzagging through
A minefield of thoughts
Because I thought a poem would be fun
Eliminating a day of this challenge because
Thoughts of words that being with E for a post were emotions and elements
However, at least this post was short.

And that, my friends, is an acrostic poem. I really couldn't think of anything else to do and my name begins with the letter E. Also, we needed a bit of lightness after D.

Move Forward

I wrote some poetry, as that seems to be all I'm good for at the moment. I'll be back tomorrow with some writing tips, possibly on how to write through all of this, but... this is all I have right now. I hope you enjoy.

Move Forward
As I wake in my bed
Wondering if it was a dream
Checking Twitter and realizing no
It's not a dream.

This is our reality.

I want to give into despair but
Wanting a fight
Wanting to give up hope but
Wanting some strength
Wanting to give up, start over but
We have to move forward.

Move forward, one foot in front of the other,
Don't give up, not yet, for it's not over
Question what's next, what can you do
Don't give into your fear,
Your grief,
Your anger,
Your despair.

Just move forward, for that's all we can
Do in the end.

Chasing Inspiration

She is looking down on the blank page
Then peeps towards a book of words
Seeing her thoughts are so close
Her notions on butterfly wings.

Inspiration, for just a moment
Her pen flies across a page
Then a page flutters away,
Sighs seep from her lips.

Notes written down,

Locked up without keys
Only small ideas, for she is
Afraid to give a dream a voice.

Deficient hesitation, she will return
On the way to what she knows best,
For she is simply pursuing inspiration

A consequence of a broken butterfly net.
