Poetry Pause

The following is intellectual property and original concept of Cicely N. Carter (April 14, 2012)

Of Dreams
written in a moment of realization while walking the streets of Manhattan

The smoke's haze lingers
over heads
like halos over fallen angels.

Cattle driven, prodded by routine
and aimless roaming.

One distant light gleams
like the remnants
of hope
in my eyes.

Poetry Just Breathed New Life Into Me...

Omg found my Poetry manuscript from my Advanced Poetry workshop from Spring 2010...:)!!! It just gave me life. I have to write an essay on my hair and kind of do a memoir type thing for a scholarship contest to win $1,000 towards tuition...I remembered I wrote a prose poem about my hair and BAM! I found it. I'm so excited.

This certainly tells me that one day (in 20 years or so), I will have to return to school for my MFA! Writing and poetry gives me life I tell you LIFE!!!! :) I'm on a high right now. I will post one of my favorites right now!

Remember all these poems were written by me in 2009 or 2010
