Poetry & Art

enraptured

cyclical hysteria

a life of repetition

adhering to the pattern

a recipe for calamity

a torrent of emotions

threaten to

erupt through my skin

expectant and explosions

driven by unmet desires

I’ve held my breath

for far too long

I hallucinate

chaotic delusions

a symphony out of a whisper

could this be more

that what you see

on the surface?

by Winnow Poetry

I am the poet behind Winnow Poetry. Although I have been writing since the mid 1990s, I began putting my poetry out on social media under the name Winnow Poetry in 2019. Writing has always been the most effective form of therapy for me. In my writing I address growing up in an emotionally and verbally abusive family, relationships, depression, anxiety, and creating the best version of myself through trial and error.
