The Magic Pathway — poetic sculpture (image & words: author)

She sensed the magic pathway that wound inside herself

My poetic journey started in response to some really intense emotions I was feeling. I was compelled to write. I sent poems to my muse every day in an email I called “Your Daily Dose of Poetry.” It was love and the words just came pouring out of me!

Since then, I have written hundreds of poems. In notebooks, on my phone, in Google Docs. Anywhere and everywhere.

I’ve made my own poetry chapbook, thanks to an event hosted by Christina M. Ward 💗. It was a fun and creative way to present my poetry. I wrote about it.

I also started sacrificing books to make poetry!

I decided to try blackout poetry when I started posting my own poetry on Instagram. It’s great for Insta — the images can look great. People come up with all sorts of beautiful drawings and patterns, making poetry from the words they find on that page. Other people’s words.

I Was Ready — blackout poem by Lisa Bolin (image: author)

Gradually life returned
Love was enough
I was ready.
