Modern Day Troubadour

Out of everyone I meet They've never met an introvert. Proding at the sleeping bear Who can wake the Monster first.

Rude right from the hip. Spewing poison from their lips. Of few words so they assumed I was a bitch. Got to know me and look whose minds were quick to switch.

Are we really that rare? Is that why you stare? Is there something in my hair? Or are you judging the clothes I wear?

I get so tired of the games. Engage with them and be ashamed. Most conversations feeling overly lame. Tried to explain - they can't relate to my brain. So quick to judge and can't take the same.

My turn and they tune me out. 'Cause I'm not bragging or needing false clout. Can't seem to just exist in their world Without having to open my mouth or change what I'm about. So today I'll take no more Placing my feet firm on the floor. Inside's a Lion Hear me roar. Enter stage left, Modern Day Troubadour.

A Hermit Crab's Adventure

By Cocoa the Poet

When Daddy's escapades

Turn to nonstop spinning rims on escalades

The only thing I can say is

Hey! Go Daddy! Go!

Because although it warrants me when Sadsy's away

I know for sure that he is out there focused on making a change

Pocket and worldly

For everyone woman boy and girly

However they identify

My Daddy constantly tries and tries

Thats why his tears now burn his eyes

Because it seems that those before, with him

Could not get it right

So left he goes

On the March to an April flow

Watching rain fall

As the pain May go

Springing into action like a real superhero

But my Daddy is not.

No.

My Daddy is a hermit crab, and this is for his hermit crab flow

He walks sideways when others are on the road

Stumbling and fumbling because he knows not which way they are going to go.

See my Daddy has been used tenfold

Some stepped on, so e criticized, some broke

But my Daddy always puts his good foot forward and marches to his own drumroll.

So count him a master of the road

Or count him the master of highways

However you count him

Make sure you remember that he feels most comfortable in his Hermit Crab Home.

With me!

His girl, his daughter, his pup

Cocoa!

Vivre sa vie by Jean-Luc Godard

[worldlywritr]

In me, by myself, without human relationships, they are no visible lies. The limited circle is pure.

Franz Kafka

[soulinkpoetry]

Introverts want to be seen, but not by everyone, only by the people they deem capable of understanding them.

The rest they keep at an arms length.

[mystilotls]

Canary chirps, Canary cries

unable to accept its demise

Canary flinched from the corner of its eyes

4 more dead in the cage they lie

Canary squawks

while the macaw mocks

the wolves talk

the sheep watch

canary desperately hides its cough

determined to see its worth pay off

suddenly for Canary's delight

it turns to see a joyful sight

a coal miner falls to her knees

Canary dances and chirps and sings

Canary celebrates as smoke fills its lungs

satisfied, he's finally not the first one

[sarahsinferno]

where silence drapes

like a velvet shawl over the shoulders

of ancient trees, I find my breath

in sync with the whispering leaves.

here, time drifts slowly, unburdened

by the frantic pulse of streets,

by the echo of voices that clash

like metal on metal.

the soil, rich and dark, cradles me,

its tendrils whispering secrets

of forgotten lore. I wander

beneath the canopy, a visitor

to a world that hums in a language

older than any human tongue.

the human world is a tangle of wires,

bright screens, and hurried conversations.

it is a landscape of sharp angles

and ceaseless noise, a labyrinth

with no clear center.

in the forest, I do not need to speak;

the soft murmur of the brook

and the rustling of the underbrush

are enough to soothe a restless soul.

i do not understand the need for chaos,

the unending chase for meaning

where meaning seems to scatter

like leaves before the wind.

here, under the dappled light,

beneath the stoic gaze of the oak,

I am at peace, a small part of a whole

that breathes in quiet harmony.

the human world will continue

to whirl and spin, a ceaseless storm,

but in the forest, I find a place

where the heart learns to listen,

and the mind finds stillness.

Lyre, Me

Curious how the sound of you Pulls strings of my Soul I had no idea were there. Heart stings or chords What's more is more Evoking memories and moods to care. Dancing as a marionette My nerves are forced to perform.

By choice or by your will Movement inside - body still Twilight's breeze when the strings dance and sing to me. Oh Lyre, Lyre, Lyre The sound becomes my compass. Reverence or meditation Hearts know - more or less.

HEY BITCHES, BROS, AND NONBINARY HOES ‼️

ARE YOU A 15 TO 28 AGED WRITER? ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A COMMUNITY OF FELLOW POETS AND WHATNOT LIKE YOURSELF? DO YOU HAVE PETRIFYING LONELINESS? ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO PAY THE BILLS WITH YOUR 9$ AN HOUR?

WELL I CAN SOLVE NOT ONE, NOT THREE, BUT POTENTIALLY TWO OF THOSE PROBLEMS!

Now I know what you're thinking...

I AGREE! 😃 But I assure you, this server is full of pretty chill people, and your typical discord drama is at the bare minimum.

We also prioritize keeping the server small—90 members is our limit—so as not to be overwhelming. We're currently at 45 members (but surprisingly active 🤯), because we took a sit back from advertising since we were comfortable with the size and vibe of our server overall, but we're back at it, and guess what! Since we have a member limit, this is your

"But OP!!! I want to know MORE about this server before joining!! 🥺" You may or may not be saying because you're just so damn impatient and want the link immediately 🙄 /silly

Well, my dear dear Tumblr user, our writing community is diverse, from poets to original authors to fanfiction writers of all genres! And our range of skill levels is just as wide. We have people just stepping foot into the writing scene to folks who've been stuck in the paragraphs for centuries. We chat about our stories, share our work, brainstorm, proofread, and do prompts and sprints. However, I would like to make it clear that our server is more of a writing community, so it isn't as writing-focused as other writing servers out there. I'd say it's 60% fun shenanigans and 40% writing-related. Aside from the writing akin, there's plenty of fandom talk, artwork sharing, fun as hell VCs, movie nights, and speechless music bot VCs if you're feeling extra introverted. /pos

We're also very queer and non-neurotypical up in here. It's a safe space for all races, disabilities, genders, sexualities, and identities. If you're not chill with that, you're not welcome here.

Here are some of our reviews! ✨️

(Please zoom in to read.)

Now my precious ADHD Tumblrina, don't you scroll away just yet if the link doesn't work! You see, because we value a safe environment on our server, we shut down this link once we reach our max amount of members! So please, DM me for a link if necessary, and I'll let you in as soon as there's space! I DON'T BITE! What do you take me for, a horse?

😯 Oh, sorry, didn't see you there, our Tumblr famous server residential horse girl @penciled-palominos

What do you take me for, a toy playing kid?

😯 Oh, sorry, didn't see you there, our Tumblr famous server residential LPS enjoyer @lpsotd

Crazy how I just bumped into those famous people on our server... 🫢

We can't wait to meet you!

How do I explain I've this silence inside me which is not peace.

I've this stillness inside me that's too deep.

I'm looking for things that aren't supposed to be here.

Myself is what I fear.
