Hi I'm plebpoet. I present a poem called "When I am alone" that I wrote a few years ago. My poetry book is incomplete and unreleased at this time, for no reason other than life distracts me, as stated in this exact poem.
I think I am going to share more poems here to test them out, give them a little exercise in the world. However, many of these were written when I was a different person. I used to be one inconsolable existentialist, and perhaps you'll see that come through. I can't decide if my poems have any value now that I can't relate to the girl who wrote them. Still love that girl, though.
Well done on getting them out there.
The value is in the writing, of committing a feeling or sense to a fixed moment in time via the page. At that moment they had value, as a songline back to a moment - good or bad - they have value, and in showing a raw part of an imperfect evolving self…they have value.
But you know this already…. thats why anyone writes… ‘the stuff we collect’

In the quiet of my solitude, I can almost feel the energy and excitement of a vast crowd.

Would you say you're now less of an (inconsolable) existentialist or just more of other things?
Thanks for sharing, I actually wanted to ask you what your next book will be about. :)

Wow! Amazing!
To find some real poetry on this platform is scarce and you're doing a good job to throw some of yours here.
I can relate this poem to myself very much. In my early days, I was kinda a poet and used to write so much poetry with the same emotions as you pass on here. I also tried my hands at stringing it into a book but couldn't finish just for life distractions.
Best wishes for your poetry book.

Everyone goes through phases. You could look at in a different way, you can never write like who you were in the past.
