I Published My First Poetry Collection on Amazon

I’ve published a poetry collection on Amazon!

Here’s a few poems from the collection and the link to purchase!

Grief

They say grief comes in waves

but that’s not true

unless you mean a tsunami.

Tornado hurricane earthquake

would be more precise,

startling and rattling you with intensity

that you can’t brace for —

because it comes unexpectedly.

Then there is the calm afterward,

and don’t forget the moments where you forget,

and smile, or even laugh.

You finally realize that this isn’t just a phase,

or waves,

but your new normal.

Thread

I am hanging on by a thread,

and that’s okay.

The thread is strong,

brawny.

It can withstand attempts at snapping, or breaking it, even though it is thin.

It’s sinewy, wiry, firm.
