As writers and poets, our work reveals our response to the people, places, and things we encounter. Sometimes, we provide wisdom too. But mostly, we unveil who we are.
Who You Read On the Page by Penny Wilson
Who you read
on the page
is a process
of excavating
one’s mind
Perhaps
not your
mind
But
the writer’s
You
aspire
to unveil
the meaning
interpret
the intent
I am gregarious
initiator
risk-taker
eagerly anticipating
the unknown
But the subconscious
alights on old stories
gathers sanctimonious
rumours of unworthiness
spits out shame
and rage
Reveals the truth –
I am vulnerable.

Love the spacing, use of pause, and use of blank space on “Facing Truths”, beautiful poem, thanks for posting this. Love it.
