Exciting news, folks! 🚀
I'm thrilled to announce that my first official poetry book ✨All American Waste✨will be launching on April 4, 2024 on Amazon! Just in time for #poetrymonth and #indieapril 🤍
A little about the book...
"All American Waste is a collection of poetry that you won't be able to put your finger on! Focusing on the struggles of being a young adult in America, and the seemingly futile search to find what is left of the 'American Dream,' the poems within the pages dance from relatable to powerful, and powerful to bizarre. They put the spotlight on the mundanity of everyday life, the importance of mental health, and the beauty of our fragile environment. There is truly a poem for every person in this book!"

Thank you to everyone who stuck with me through my long hiatus from this account! Life happened, as it does, and my focus was taken away from writing and creating for quite a while!
I'm so excited to be back in action and actually WRITING again!!
Stay tuned for new poems, and if you're interested in my artwork you can follow @artsymagee on Instagram and Facebook!
Thank you all again, I can't wait to see what the future holds creatively! Glad to be back! (:
The sobering silence of waking without you is deafening, but I'd rather be deaf.

May I change?
May I grow?
May I take this very slow?
May I breathe?
May I see?
May I blossom like a tree?
May I shift?
May I stay?
May I love myself today?

Drizzle
Long detested by most,
The drizzle comes down
Upon the once sun soaked
Town amidst Spring Cleaning.
To me a baptism, to drench
Summer into submission,
The perfect waiting game,
As Summer can push and prod
Impatient and imperious
To make frost heaved asphalt
Sizzle and deflate, shimmer
And expel Winter treasure.
The feathered rain remains
Spring’s single defense
Against her fast-paced sibling
Dousing the region in dampness
One half expects a billow of steam
To blanket and clog terrain
Instead clouds collect cotton
Tempered trails of mist
And the cool cloth of condensation
Insists that we revitalize Winter
For one last day.

Good news is like a good symphony
Close your eyes and listen for hours
The ups and downs of various voices
Monotone or melodic they chime away
Knowledge falling from a fountain
A source unseen and wearily trusted
But it comes so easily from the teeth
That tumble and fall and catch again
A dancer re-footing from a stumble
And off they run from point to point
To one I give a hum and nod
A chorus of opinions from the radio
And on and on the chatter runs
