The Creative Exiles Website for Writers

Good morning, and happy new year! After a few months of sorting personal events at home, I am back to write blogs on Poetic Poetry. If you are a writer of poetry, short stories, song lyrics, essays, or books, you may want to check out this writing group. I've heard of this website through a fellow writer I have connected with through Hubpages. The website offers all forms of poetry including rhyming poetry (which is my favorite type). There is even an anthology of poems available to purchase through Amazon called The Creative Exiles an anthology of poems.


Where the Tractor Rides Away is a rhyming poem by Steve Walters. He talks about wanting to spend his "golden years on a porch." The poem describes how he is most comfortable in his home in Houston with his tractor near a lake or a pond. He yearns for simplicity and feels he has been in the big city for far too long. I relate to his eagerness of living simply. My dream is to live in the North Carolina mountains surrounded by hills and waterfalls while reading and writing.


Below, I will share a poem from The Creative Exiles website that spoke to me.



Flower Cover by Paul Neglia


Is a vacuum really nothingness?

The true beginning that we will see

A planted seed with subsequence

A conception new, no flaws and free

But, like a cloud encased by shadow

the darkness seeks to choke the light

With ignorance such darkness shows

And corrupts the world with night

But light, though infinitesimal, flowers,

A brilliant flight from the tunnel grows

Unstained and teeming with power

upon the earth it shines and soughs

With seeds unleashed upon the plains

From darkness, it begins to show.

Petals like eyelids open through strain

Synaptic bursts surging to-and-fro

Raw emotions grow and correlate

Like rain with tears, and joy to sun

With time the body maturates

And blossoms, but not everyone

Not every sapling is bound to ascend

Not all will kiss the sun up close.

Not all will rake the ocean’s end

Not all will hail the heaven’s host

Those young allowed to grow and spread

Will grant soon the shade and food to grow

their tree branch cover from overhead

Will protect all those who live below
