New old camera. I used to use this all the time as a kid to make home movies. Excited that I've got my hands on one again. Look at the date that it defaulted to haha.

Second part of the zine... #poetry #poetsky #poetrysky #freeformpoetry

Poem continues "You are as you are meant to be. Every wave upon the shore, a meeting of the coming of Selves. Each grain of sand a welcoming; soulful and sweet."

There is a square photo of a beach in the centre of the page, framed by two paper cut out whales on either side of the photo.

Poem continues "And as the ground recognises you, with every step, a canopy of clouds wheel like thoughts and dreams, and all the world sings the mirth of simple truths and deepest knowings."

The text is placed upon textured paper of flowers on the bottom, with an array of drawn mushrooms on top, and above a watercolour abstract image of pinks and blues, similar to stained water.

Final text of poem reads "You are as you are meant to be", it is placed over a simple white background.

My poem in the form of a zine! I love zines so much... such an easy and accessible way of self-publishing. Second part in replies

Front cover of a zine that is titled "You are as you are meant to be". The cover is a picture of light brown textured leaves.

The poem begins "You are as you are meant to be. Let the autumn of your leaves turn to red and gold, and burn as a brilliant sun in the coming of dawn".

The words are positioned on a plain page with red and brown autumn leaves stuck to it.

Black tissue paper background with flecks of silver and white paint. The poem continues "The stars roll in delight, as old as the ages of Earth, and older still..."

Poem is continued on next image.

"... Than the greeting of the Magpie, or the yearnful song of the Pobblebonk."

A hand drawn magpie and Pobblebonk frog are on the page, framed by watercolour leaves.

I am slowly losing my mind over the unusually warm weather of May A rhythm my body has had for so long has changed The disquietening feeling of slowly suffocating on warm summer air And it's still business as usual

So let me call it magick When I can finally love myself #poem #poetry #freeformpoetry

A hand written poem over a film photo of a woman standing by a puddle on a black sand beach. The ocean is in the background, as well as a mountain range on the left. It is sunset, the woman is a silhouette. The poem reads:

"I do not wish to be a product of my time. I see the hate around me, and I feel it within. I speak to myself with the words that the world used against me. Every thought, an incantation against my so. So let me call it magick when I can finally love myself."

I originally titled this poem Fight Flight Freeze Fawn - I mean how do you self-help your way out of global issues that trigger/create deep trauma? You can't. This is me grappling with that. #poem #poetry #freeformpoetry #politics #newagespirituality #community

Part one of a poem written on a photo. The image is of a cloud in the sky, coloured orange by the sunset and contrasting against the blue sky. The near-full moon is visible.

The poem reads:

The world is knocking
At my door, and in my mind
I turn inward
And feel into my body
I ask what she needs
And I try to water the garden
But it doesn't matter
How well I tend to the flowers
When the sun beats down mercilessly
When the world still turns towards oblivion
How can I calm each individual wave
When the moon is so beyond my reach

Part two of a poem on a photo. The image is of a light blue cloudy sky with two small cockatoos flying in the distance. The text reads:

The world is knocking
I turn to my books, my workshops, my classes
That teach me how to sit in the storm
But not how to shelter from it
I see my fellow humans
Swept away by the ravaging winds
The torrential rain
And I wonder if there is more I can do
Than simply train my brain to accept
The water like tears beating upon my face

The world is knocking
And I'm afraid to answer
Because what if on the other side
Lies something far worse than what sits within me now
If I close the blinds and lock the door
Maybe the screams will drown away
For they are no longer deafened by my own
And if I meditate and pray and learn
What it means to be a better human
Maybe I won't have to see who has come knocking
Because through my own detatchment to my self
I no longer care for doors or visitors or unending storms

The world is knocking
Am I brave enough to answer?

Love plays hide and seek and I'm always seeking #poem #poetry #freeformpoetry

A blurry black and white film photo with a small Yellow Crested Black Cockatoo flying from the right side of the image to left. Text is overlayed onto the image, a freeform poem that reads:

"I breathe in. "Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me?" I hold the air in my lungs, as if I would never breathe again. And you ask "What kind of question is that?", and I cannot answer. The only thing I know, is that I need air."
