This week, I’ve got another poem from my slowly unfurling fantasy world for you, and this one lends itself a bit to the mystery that you probably weren’t even considering (if you’ve caught a couple of these) – who is actually writing these poems? Not in the meta sense that I’m the one coming up with them of course, but more of a ‘who is the narrator?’ sort of deal, which I hope you find interesting as you read this week’s poem!

This is Worship
Some interesting context for this one! So, this poem is continuing the series that I’ve been uploading over the past few weeks of fantasy poems that are slowly expanding the worldbuilding of a project that I’ve been working on. However, this poem also takes inspiration from Worship, an entirely unrelated poem that I have also previously uploaded to the blog. It’s a sort of reimagining/extended/mixed-up version of that poem, which now fits into the bigger picture of this fantasy world, so I hope you enjoy it!
Wish For Chaos
Like with the last two weeks, this week’s poem is another fantasy one from that collection I’ve been writing loosely recently, and although it doesn’t expand upon the worldbuilding quite as much, I hope it still provides an interesting little insight into this setting!
Tombstones & Rosebushes
Remember Spiritside from last week? Well, this is another poem from that same collection that I’ve been working on, within the same fantasy world – and even the same city! I hope that you find this interesting, both as a little slice of a new world and a poem within itself.
Spiritside
Something a little different for you this week! It’s a poem, but it’s specifically within the fantasy genre and is part of a little casual collection I’ve been building up to populate the worldbuilding of a project I’ve been working on. I thought it would be fun to include here on the blog, and I might post a few more in the coming weeks, so here’s the first one!
The Matter of The Chest
This week, I’ve got a poem for you and an exciting announcement – this poem was published in Issue I of These Writers’ Voices, ‘The Silence’, yesterday, which you can check out for free right here! If you’d like to just read this poem, I’ve included it below for you. This is a pretty personal one that covers three different stages in my journey of having top surgery, so I really hope you enjoy it!
Inexplicable
Back to the poetry this week! This one is just a little light-hearted take on the random appearance of spiders in places that really don’t seem beneficial for them, considering their fly-based diet. It’s just a fun poem, so I hope you enjoy it!
Rip Out The Pages, Burn The Textbook
Another poem this week, and it’s another one that I wrote for uni as well! This one is a sort of melding of the idea of personal history and history as a subject (i.e. being taught in school), with a ton of different images rolled up into one poem just for you. I hope you enjoy it!
Worship
I’ve got another poem for you this week! We’re creeping slowly closer to Halloween (even though it’s still a bit away) so I thought a horror-themed poem might be a good idea! Worship is another one that I wrote for university, and I hope that you enjoy reading it!
Numbers, Numbers, Numbers…
I’ve got another poem for you this week! Keeping with the theme of the past few weeks, this is another one that I wrote for uni, and I hope that it will be particularly poignant to anyone who’s ever been stuck on hold on the phone – which is, in all likelihood, most people. Anyway, here’s the poem!
