My Top Poems on Medium
Past Lives, Memory Loss, Drug Use and the Tao
One of the most difficult things for a writer to do is choose their best writing.
No matter how you slice it, there’s always going to be a poem you really wish you could include, even though you don’t consider it to be your ‘best’ writing.
I considered choosing from poems with the most views on Medium. Then I thought about choosing from curated poems. In the end, I chose with my heart.
I’ve included the poems that mean the most to me.
Here goes:
1. This poem reveals all of my favorite things, including cottonwoods, walking through a carpet of leaves, and the smell of sheets dried on the clothesline.
2. This one is a true story of discovering and releasing a past life binding.
3. Here’s one about memory loss and aging. I’m sad to say this is a true story for many of our friends.
4.Surfing and Drug Use. I use surfing terms intertwined with a poem about mainlining drugs in the city.
5.Justification of anger. And recovery. This poem works through the stages of anger from savoring it to releasing it.
6. I love the imagery of ritual and ancient traditions explored in this fanciful write.
7. This sweet poem came to me in a dream about my lover. ******
8. I was so happy when this one came to me. It was the first successful poem I wrote when I picked up the pen again.
9. She Wears Her Shame Like Worn Out Shoes is a poem about working through programming instilled at a young age.
10.I find it interesting that water is so powerful. This short poem is about mindfulness and how water always finds a way.
I hope you enjoyed reading these poems as much as I enjoyed writing them.
