Saturday Poetry with Lara 🍃
Saturday mornings have become a place for me to share my poetry with you, and I've realized that I want this space to hold more than just the poems I'm writing today.
So going forward, you may see three different kinds of Saturday poetry posts here:
New Poetry
These are poems I've written recently, often within a week or so of sharing them. They're new thoughts and words that are still finding their place in my journey as a writer.
From the Archives
These are poems I've written over the years, many long before I began sharing my poetry on social media. Most will be new to you, even though they may be decades old to me. When I can, I may also share approximately how old I was when I wrote them, offering a little glimpse into who I was at that time.
Behind the Poetry
Every so often, instead of simply sharing a poem, I'll share a little more about the poetry itself. This may include the inspiration behind a particular poem, the story or experience that led to it, where an idea came from, something about my life as a poet, or a reflection on the words and experiences that have shaped my writing.
I've been writing poetry through many seasons of my life, and I don't want to share only the words I'm writing now. There are years of poetry behind me and, I hope, many more still ahead.
Saturday feels like a lovely place to make room for all of it.
