Keeping Up With Poetry

It’s been difficult to keep up with my daily poetry. Sometimes I find myself missing 3 days and then sitting down the write 3 or 4 poems in one day and in one sitting. I guess it’s because I’m drained sometimes from work but regardless I have been able to stay up to date on my new website WillBridges.Name with a poem a day as I’ve planned.  So, I’m up to 38 poems… One for each day since I started. I feel by the end of this thing I’m doing I’ll have a full book of poetry which is organized on my blog. 

I’m pretty excited about it and even though I’ve only got a moderate level of feedback and just enough people reading my feed I still feel I’m getting better as time passes. It’s pushing me to explore new methods of writing and new forms of poetry. So, I look forward to keep pushing the limits of my abilities. I also look forward to growing my audience and getting more feedback.

The Depth of An Illusion

People used to think I was a really good poet so I figured I haven't wrote in a while. Why not put something down this morning? 

Thoughts wandering in chaos across the world inside my mind's eye.
Truth on my thought's wagging tongue not allowing me to whisper faintest of lie.
Reaching a crossroads near the river of mystery with both directions quality unseen.
Showing benevolence towards my seed so his roots will take and his leaves will be green.

A new way of life before my senses but not quite scribed in any stone.
A path that is mine but a path forgotten that I may have to walk alone.
How good can I be if my words of the past are lost in the depths of my confusion?
Maybe I'm found and it is my uncertainty that is creating this wayard illusion.
