Where is Thor’s thunder wolf? He is not heard baying under moonlight He is hidden from sight Grieving the loss of a thousand years Grieving strong, he doesn’t shed tears A warrior doesn’t whimper, they roar Where is the thunder wolf of Thor?

Where is the lone wolf that’s searching for his mate? I wander too long to find him, in my packless state Too lonely I have been, in this world of man A lonely female wandering, wherever she can Too many cities stifle me Too many villages as well Living alone as a wolf Is like walking barefoot in Hell.

I’m sorry to the little girl for all her broken dreams I promise that right now, your pain isn’t what it seems Perhaps you don’t understand that it’s better off this way I hope you can forgive me in the green fields where you play I’m sorry for you broken heart I’m sorry for the pain But if you want a pretty garden, there has to be some rain Sometimes we do not learn at all That there’s…

You had a bubble life Beautiful, colorful, bringing joy to all who knew you But like a bubble your life was brief Gone like a burst balloon Sudden, shockING – BOOM! You were gone Now I mourn the loss of another sun in the universe Your death felt like a curse As shadows step closer to me Stealing my happiness from me Happiness that was you Real and true Leaving me in the…

Working towards my personal peace and joy Until the battle ends Never should I reap rewards until then Justice shouldn’t bend Optimism is key to survival When will it ever end? Undulating good and bad Not seeing the coming trend Joy is shyer than grief to me Obstructed by others Will joy stay hidden from me? Understanding the cyclic life Not knowing where I stand Just waiting for the…

It’s my four cats birthday today, their 1st birthday! No, they’re not adults yet, their breed mix means that they’re not actually adults until they are three years old, I never knew there were cats that aged slower depending on breed until I got these guys and the vet told me! They’re currently half the size they’re going to be when they’re adults – the boys can reach up to 33 pounds in weight,…

Over half of the poetry I have been writing since early February 2026 is written by hand, which is something I haven’t done for nearly twenty years. It is to keep me from publishing the poems on my blog.  Why? Because I had promised someone who is interested in my work that I will publish with them an anthology and it’s best for me to send them unpublished works! For nearly two years I had…

The Poet Empress by Shen TaoMy rating: 4 of 5 starsOne main thing I think about this book is that they’ve put it in the wrong genre at library and bookshops! I think there are too many graphic body horror descriptions and horrific events in the book that this should be put into horror or dark fantasy, not regular fantasy.If you are a fantasy reader and you dislike graphic horror, then dont pick…

People struggle to let my love in They think it’s fake, to my chagrin I love deep and pure But people dislike my love and wont endure Some say I don’t care enough Most say I care too much A few say that they accept my love But please do not touch I can never get it right Sometimes my love ends in fights Resistance from others that push me away But then call me again another…

My blog is not litanies of you I wrote before you knew me too Your ego would never understand that truth Because you believe you’re God But all you are is a daisy in the sod Like a black eyed Susan you stand too close to the sun Watching till you’re blind Because you think you are The Chosen One You think my life is yours, it’s not – it’s mine! You think I need you and him, I don’t –…

There is a person that believes all prose here is about them It’s not, but they do not see Though they want it to be My life doesn’t revolve around them Though this poem might Not every ache I have in my heart is about their slight With each thing I have on my blog They attack me with every word Though they cowardly hide behind fake names Which makes it more absurd My pain is about a…

I am not devoted to polishing another’s ego I am not dedicated to putting my feelings aside again I am not loyal to those that want to use me Nor am I committed to accept pain I am loyal to the health of my soul and mind I am committed to myself I don’t need others to polish my ego I am dedicated to writing a different story to my life’s bookshelf I am not here to fulfil your plan I am…

The day after the post came out titled “The price of death”; I had the unexpected news that my Uncle James aka Jimmy Jr had died of a heart attack.   He was not someone I was anticipating to go, which has shocked the whole family – because his youngest sister Catherine died just five weeks earlier and he died precisely seven days after her funeral! The whole family is talking about how we’re…

The tides are harsher these days Harsher than the land Underneath the waters Rising for air I Strive to reach for oxygen And it is never there Zenith should come quite soon for me, it surely must be there?

I stand among the warrior gods I am one of their kind Enraged with what life has to offer To the battlefield I am assigned No agreement necessary Experience is key No chance to run away from fate I have to pass the warrior’s degree The education is hard and sour Brings pain, blood, tears and sweat Seeing loved ones fall around me In the darkness alone, I’ve wept Until I pass my…

I am the mother, battle maiden and hard Raising a band of warriors, because I was scarred My children are animals, spirits and waifs I know what it is, to be disgraced My magic comes from my pain within Taut and unwavering to my enemies chagrin Steel tough and wrought with rage I might not live to an old age But my might will become a legend for all to see As I become that, which all…

You have to have emotion when you write poetry; poetry has been quite difficult since October, most of the recent works on here have been written before October and stored. A lot of different events in my life from the beginning of 2025 right through to now has shocked me, shook me, rearranged my alignments to so many things, people and ideas and in a lot of ways numbed me too. In the last…
