@The_PoetryArena I had to repost. The typos bothered me. #bornbattleready #poetry

@100CansOfSpam @The_PoetryArena This has great symbolism and Imagery. Well done! 👏🏾

@The_PoetryArena SCREAMIN’ JEAN Left or Right? Same old choices, Same old witches screeching in a field. Up or down? Same old feelings, Same old pills rattling in my mouth. In or out? Same old boxes, Same old barriers keeping us apart. #BornBattleReady

@mistereo143 This carries a lot of emotional weight. A poignant story. Well done! 👏🏾

I don’t regret many things in my life. I always try to see the choices I’ve made as lessons. But if there is one thing I do regret, it was the choice to let myself off the hook. I looked across the balcony- The expanse high and wide. The future made me dizzy. Instead of grounding my fears, I chose you as my scapegoat; pinning my insecurities on your back. I’ve had my wings clipped too many times to even remember what it is to fly with hope- soaring through the clouds with faith. No, I don’t regret many things. Choices are lessons. And this lesson was hard.

@lakeswriter81 @The_PoetryArena This has a strong, defiant energy to it that makes it bold. Well done! 👏🏾

#battlebornready #QRT My body, my #choice Why won’t you hear my voice? Alas, your God, your faith — Your way or the highway. My life, my terms. I yearn for my mortal coil to burn, Not to dwell and dread My demise in this hospital bed. My body, my choice Why won’t you hear my voice? Less of you and yours — For that, I will always, forever, pour scorn.

@Jim_dEntremont @The_PoetryArena @blackonred This is vivid and atmospheric. I love how you use your words. Well done! 👏🏾

@The_PoetryArena @blackonred I am Not lost Wandering The stark Desert grandeur A choice mine I see a Strange creature Conjured of Sands and winds and The mind Reminding I May lose others But As long as I Don’t lose Myself I Will return In strength #BornBattleReady

@Jim_dEntremont @The_PoetryArena Jim, this is wonderfully written. 👏🏾

@The_PoetryArena the languid breeze barely lifts the fronds on the palm trees as I time my being to the beat of hammocks swinging the sweat drips into infinity ethereal and salty just like the sea in front of me #BornBattleReady #palm #poetry #poetrycommunity

@Saffronsuncat @The_PoetryArena Wonderfully written! 👏🏾

@LolaaLibraSun @The_PoetryArena I love the red string visualization. This poem is beautiful. 👏🏾

@The_PoetryArena Palm to palm we read our lines, the answer to our fortunes Wrist to wrist tie a red string, pulses bound and beating Heat to heat we touch... we know. it feels like home... #BornBattleReady

@ghostcatting @The_PoetryArena Your poem feels kinetic and rhythmic. I love the intimacy of it. Wonderfully done! 👏🏾

@The_PoetryArena He palms her parts Like a magician on the streets Cupping gems Baiting her with his stare While his fingers swish and switch Supple thighs from closed to open Pulling with a light touch Until her mind swims And the slight of hand Robs her senses #bornbattleready

@Violet__Siren__ Wonderfully written! 👏🏾

the lifeline curls like a serpent storm-dark, inked by mind-reading fingers coiling across her palm she remembers every version that tried to live bruised bent taking root the only choice is to become something softer or refuse grace and break #BornBattleReady @The_PoetryArena

@mila255h @The_PoetryArena There's an almost cinematic feel to this. Wonderfully done! 👏🏾

@The_PoetryArena In the breeze a cool blowing wind Gently teases the wispy curls still remaining in her sodden hair The night owls hoot in a creepy displaced tree His #palm graces her cheek Running to her lips Holding for a second then lingers round her waist Love twisted wasted away Haunting

@MarionBerndt @The_PoetryArena I feel like you're expanding intimacy into something cosmic like. Wonderfully done! 👏🏾
