Some days, I don’t feel like a “poet.” I feel like I'm trying to survive life without disappearing inside it. The poems come from that place. If you’ve ever felt that tension, you’re not alone. I write for that space. a.co/d/056JfewJ Do you write from survival or joy?

#NaPoWriMo number 11 is "A Difficult Decision." #PoetryWithDonnie. This one may need some work. What do you think?

#NaPoWriMo number 5 is "There Must be More". #PoetryWithDonnie It's about wanting better, moving on, running away, and severing ties, not necessarily in that order or mutually exclusive. Share, repost, and let me know what you think.

#NaPoWriMo number 4. The prompt was, "A limerick, but not a funny one." I hope you like it. #PoetryWithDonnie Do you have a favorite limerick?

#NaPoWriMo number 1. "Dusk Remembered" #PoetryWithDonnie. Good morning, and welcome to National Poetry Writing Month. Feel free to offer feedback, contribute your own poem, or follow along just to read new poetry.

Tomorrow is the day! April 1 and the beginning of National Poetry Writing Month (#NaPoWriMo) Join me as I attempt to write and post a poem every day in April. The poems will be rough/unedited because they will be rough drafts. You can write too, or just come to read the poetry.

I took a walk at lunchtime and found this little guy. #photography #nature

I'm hoping to read a few indie poetry collections during April. Who are your favorite indie poets? Which collections do you recommend? I want to buy three or so.

Here is a reading of one of my poems, "Early Spring" youtu.be/9KbPOQkuNsA?... I'm open to feedback if you have any thoughts.

All of my bookshelves are full, but I have a valid solution. I build more shelves.

Are any of you poets planning on participating in #NaPoWriMo? Are you planning on using prompts? Just winging it? Something else entirely?

If you are committed to supporting indie writers, please remember that reviews, ratings, and adding our books to your wishlist are ways to help, too.

National Poetry Writing Month is almost here. How are you celebrating? #NaPoWriMo #PoetryWithDonnie #poetrycommunity

Just a reminder and an invitation. National Poetry Writing Month is nearly here. Let's write together.

I tried to forget you, but... Your scent still lives in our sheets. Your shadow still dances in our kitchen. Your voice makes new music in our home. Your presence lingers in my heart. I tried to forget you, but... You have been here with me all along.

Do you like poetry? Do you feel like the world needs more? Let's write together!

The more, the merrier. Let's write poetry together.

Starting two weeks from today (April 1), I will be attempting a poem-a-day challenge for National Poetry Writing Month. Like and repost to help spread the word. #NaPoWriMo #PoetryWithDonnie #poetrycommunity #poetry

I just got word of a rejection. That's 2 so far this week. That means 2 more submissions outgoing this weekend. My work will find a home sometime soon.

Join us for National Poetry Writing Month. We are writing and sharing a poem every day in April. Spread the word and invite your friends and followers. Use #NaPoWriMo and #PoetryWithDonnie so we can find and support each other.

April is almost here. I’ll be attempting a poem a day for #NaPoWriMo If you’re a poet (published or not), join me. Write and share a poem each day in April. Use #NaPoWriMo and #PoetryWithDonnie so we can find and support each other. No pressure. Just poems. Who’s in?

I am an eastern Kentucky poet, writer, artist, etc. In search of an audience and an agent. Grey Days in the Green Hills a.co/d/79KcYlu If poetry interests, inspires, or intrigues you, let's be friends.

April will be here soon. April is National Poetry Month. Do you have your poetry reads ready? Feel free to consider mine. They are free on KU, ebooks and paperbacks are reasonably priced. If you can't buy now, add them to your wishlist! That helps, too. a.co/d/0dEKbZ3o

This evening is sponsored by lemonade and a thunderstorm. #mood

I stepped outside my comfort zone and submitted a non-poetry work. I'm nervous but hopeful. Wish me luck. Send positive energy my way.

It's been quiet. Like I have drifted too far from the shore. I can't see my way back. I'm tired, sad, and lost.

Some days feel like you’re not swimming — just trying not to sink. Treading Water is a poetry collection for those days. If you’ve ever felt like you were barely staying afloat, this book might speak to you. Take a look: a.co/d/07tq2ke6

I'm looking for a new Indie book to read. Have you read a good one lately? Do you have a recommendation? I lean towards science fiction and horror, but I'm open to most genres.

Hey everyone. I'm pleased to announce that my poetry collection "Grey Days in the Green Hills" is now available at the Indie Author Bookstore. motivatedsavages.com/books-grey-d...
