How do you keep a poem moving forward? Awesome stuff btw

Thank you, tbh I don't really think about it. I usually just write until the words run out and figure out the shape later. I think what helps a poem keep moving is letting it be, not trying to make every line perfect as you go. Just follow the momentum of the feeling or image you started with and don't worry about where it's going yet. You can always edit or rearrange later, I think as long as the emotion's still alive, the poem keeps moving

do you have other socials? Cause I’ve seen accounts with your username

I only post my writing here and on Pinterest. If you see pages like these, they’re just people who stole my username and erased my watermark from pics lmao. I created my username and when you see someone else using it, just know they stole it from me.

I love your writing. I connect with it so much. How long have you been writing?

Thank you, I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. It always felt like the one thing that was fully mine. I started with silly stories as a kid, then began posting on Poetizer and Writco around 14 (I don’t use them anymore). After that, I mainly shared my writing on Pinterest, and now on here
