OctPoWriMo: Journey's End

How has your journey been for you? Have you discovered new ways to write poetry? Were you able to dive deeper into the words and uncovered new/old truths?

It always is different. I find that when I let go, I get more of what I want out of a poem, a story, or life as I
know it. I tried every prompt, in some capacity. I explored new poetic forms. I tried free verse. I found a love for free verse, letting go of structure, yet still holding onto that ability to tell a story (or try to). I wasn't always successful with what I wanted, but tried. I experimented with rhyme and mimickry of  other poets. I had a good time and will be back next year. There are things I want to try to perfect before next year. Dear Readers, expect much more poetry to surface between now and NaPoWriMo in April 2016.

Enjoy!

From MorgueFile

~~~~~~

It is the journey

that somehow people will fear

it is what I love

~~~~~~

The adventure

is what is waiting

the journey

a path

a trail

destiny unfolding.

I relish the expedition

seeking out new challenges

new words to play with

upon my fingers

at the keyboard I type,

into the lands known

and unknown.

Upon the ship I sail,

Captain at the helm

and you as my first mate

hold tight before we capsize.

Upon the elephant to ride,

thundering through the jungle

dense and deep.

A quick jaunt to Baker Street,

perhaps with the Tardis meet

some rhyme 

and reason

we travel together

to Paralon and back again,

more adventures to be had.

Even at journey's end,

it is only the beginning.
