About Me
Keisha Diamond March Member of the Month
I wrote one my first poems called ‘blossom tree’ possibly when I was about 7 years old and it was hung up in school. I remember writing a magical story and being commended for it my teacher bringing me to the reception classes to read it for story time.
I’ve always had a way with words and creativity has always been the core and essential component of my life.
When I create I feel free, I feel the power of the universe expressing itself through me. I feel ALIVE and I feel LOVE.
Put simply, I love it.
I love the intimacy and realness of poetry, how it connects us on a human level. I love how poetry is so unapologetic with no heirs and graces; it can be raw and real, then so subtle. I love the passion, emotion and expression and essentially, that’s what I’m all about.
Now I’ll let my poetry do the talking!
IT IS WHAT IT IS
Poetry is poetry and it is what it is
people wanna define but I just let it be.
I enjoy the feeling
of evoked emotion
passion and performance
a universal language
many intricacies
and details unique
various interpretations
Communication.
Poetry is alive
on the ins and outs
in the hearts of many
tripping off the edges of mouths
over spilling
they don’t queue
they jump!
In leaps and bounds
no orderly fashion
no regulations
they are free
and they just be
more mouths are opening
syllables stampeding
continuously motion
in flux
for eternity
