“A Letter to My Unborn Daughter”- Javon Johnson

Hello everyone! Today is my Writing Related Fridays and so today I decided to take a look at some poetry on YouTube from others poets. I came across this very interesting, sweet and very funny poem (letter) from poet Javon Johnson. I do not even know Javon Johnson but he has now become my all time favourite with just this one poem. It immediately warmed my heart and I fell in love with it. I think it’s a beautiful poem/ letter. Take a look at the video below and please let me know if you also think that this is such a great, beautiful poem.

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well. Take care and have a great day! 🙂

Really Look at Me!

Hello readers and followers. Have you ever felt sometimes like people are not truly looking at you and who you truly are but only looking at you from the surface? Well, this poem reflects how I have felt in the past and sometimes even now. Some people tend not to see the real you below the surface, which can be a real shame.

Alone

Hello readers and fellow bloggers. It’s been a week since I last posted. How are you all? Today I just wanted to post a poem I found interesting and that was written by Allen Edgar Poe.

The way he saw things and his passions it was different from everyone else and so he was alone. Well at least that is my interpretation of the first lines of the poem.

Another Maya Angelou poem that’s a favourite of mine.

Hello All. How is everyone? Some time back I wrote a post about Maya Angelou being one of my favourite poets even though to be honest I know only but a few poets. That time I posted a poem from Maya Angelou called ‘Phenomenal Woman’ which is a personal favourite of mine.
Today I just wanted to share another of her poems that is also a favourite of mine. This is because some of the poems that Maya Angelou wrote I can somewhat relate to on a personal level if I may say so. Not to mention they are both confident and sassy but at the same time mellow. I especially like poems like that.

Knock Knock…

Hello, followers… readers… friends. I want to say thank you to all those who have wished me a happy birthday on Thursday. It meant a lot. I’m grateful to have you as my friends. Thank you again.

Anyway, today I wanted to share a poem I came across on Facebook after scrolling down my news feed. I found the message to be so powerful, I was left speechless for a little while. It was not the type of knock knock I was expecting either. No jokes here whatsoever, sorry. In my opinion it is very serious but touching at the same time. Take a look at the video below.

Life is a beautiful thing

Hello everyone. Happy Friday! I hope you are enjoying the remainder of your day.

I just wanted to briefly say that despite everything that life hands to us, whether it’s good or bad, life is still beautiful. That is why when our lives are threatened we try our damnedest to try and cling on to life even if there were just but a glimmer of hope.

That is what I thought as I wrote this poem. So next time you feel time you feel down or out of touch please remember this poem. Have a great day everyone and much love. Continue reading
