The heart and soul
of a good story
is so blended that we feel
it in real life.

More Sincere

Posted on June 19, 2023June 19, 2023 by Erin B.
Dig with pencil into
every story,
the writing will reveal
intimate thoughts and feelings;
the more sincere, the more profound.

Bears The Blame

Posted on October 22, 2022October 22, 2022 by Erin B.
People criticize a woman
who gives up love,
yet no one criticizes the man
for the same story.
The woman bears the blame
in love and life.

New Era

Posted on October 15, 2022October 15, 2022 by Erin B.
Just when you thought
the story
is at an end, 
how lovely. A new era begun:
I am slowly, beginning to delight again
in living,
my heart pouring out, and
my dreams better.

Her Story Begins

Posted on February 20, 2022August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
Her story begins
quite naturally,
where she is a sullen and friendless ugly duckling.
Poor, plain and invisible.
The plight of all Cinderellas.

Abstract Poem

Posted on February 3, 2022August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
An abstract poem.
a rejection.
I pick the most promising themes.
No ready-made novel, no dense story.
Cut off in a self-induced vacuum
I could be myself.
