I write imperfect poetry.

Frigid winter air
Warm fires, lazy days inside
Cruel, old reflections

I had my first sale in well over a year+ on ‘Love Space & Loneliness’

Whoever you are, you may not ever see this, but I can only hope that you enjoy the journey you’ll take reading through that collection. Many of those poems still bring back vivid memories for me

I appreciate you 🖤

I wanted to share some poetry from my last collection

I find myself looking back at it often to reflect on who I was and where I was at in life when I wrote ‘Love Space & Loneliness’

It’s crazy how words can transport you back to a moment in time, how raw the emotions and feelings were

I've been trying to utilize tiktok as my other platform to grow my reach again and it won't even allow me to upload any content

Cause what do you mean you won't upload past 45% ? 😭

As a creative, frustrating experience

Metaphorical poetry about "cake" 😉

Bakery view—
Two luscious angel cakes
Strolling on by, mmm

A monoku I wrote about what a website is,

Digital home, chaos veiled in pretty paint

Oh yeah, grow that banned book collection too 📚

Books I've read when I was younger, but didn't have in my personal collection
A hand holds up two paperback books, the 60th-anniversary edition of "Fahrenheit 451" and the 75th-anniversary edition of "Animal Farm," in front of a wooden shelf with two small potted jade bonsai plants.

Scrapping, swept by silent steps

#poem #poetry #poemoftheday #freeverse #eskeen #leave
Ominous spirit / Guiding light / Grant me foresight / On what awaits me / Change is never clear / I've succumbed to the fog / A momentous release / Of old memories / What defines me? / It couldn't be intimate imagery / Of a dreary depleted being / Soul searching about who I could be / Wisdom I've come to seek / To speak a universal language / Whispering manifested changes / To make this bleak house breathe / -e.s.keen

Still working on my next collection of poetry, but I've already got a vision for my next cover.

Deciding on color schemes to create balance is the tricky part (that's the designer part of me speaking)

The poem and the poet
Splintered in how I take my next step / Treading the same location / In new shoes / In the same season / But these fallen leaves / Though from the same oak / Have different veins / They tell a different story / Can we evolve if we remain? / Or must we flee indefinitely / Is growth diminished / Without new perspective? / The heart is fond / Of familiarity / But a calling in the wind / Carries change that I seek / e.s.keen A portrait photo shot of a poet by the name of e.s.keen, a man with a beard and short curly hair smiles at the camera, standing outdoors on a sunny day. He is wearing a gray and black plaid jacket over a white shirt. The background is a forest of bright, golden yellow aspen trees in the autumn.

Something new 🖋️

#poetry #poemoftheday #eskeen #autumn
The background is of luscious yellow and orange vegetation and tall green trees touching the tops of a light blue sky representing the coming of autumn. A darkened overlay is placed on top to make the poem laid on top easily readable. The following words formulate a free verse poem that is placed on the very top of the image, "Could you blame me If my stride doesn't carry the same power Because my body is tired And the weight of the world Seeps into the pores Streaming into the veins Flooding the blood stream Marrying into each blood cell As of it were an arrangement Against your will And the betrayal of your freedom Is a cost that you must bear For decades on end And I apologize for the lack of empathy In a world lacking the heart for sympathy" This poem was originally written by e.s.keen

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Take me back here. Hawaii was a wonderful experience. It really puts into perspective how powerful culture, family and water especially is 🌊
A wide, scenic view of the ocean from a rocky shoreline on a bright, sunny day in Hawaii. A low, dark stone wall frames the foreground, leading to weathered rock formations. The sun reflects brilliantly on the deep blue water, and the sky is filled with scattered white clouds.

Staring down this pit of black coffee
Wondering how I'll find the energy
To navigate every curve of you
Before dawn rings in the morning
