Interestingly, even though I’ve posted quite a few of these fantasy poems now, this one was actually the first that I wrote. I guess that makes it quite special in its own way, and it’s also a little longer than some of the others, but in a sense, it’s the starting point for all of the other poems that I’ve been posting from this collection, week by week, so I hope you enjoy this ‘beginning’!

Unknowledge
This week, we’re continuing the collection that I’ve been covering over the past few posts with my fantasy poems, expanding on this mysterious world in a somewhat interesting and perhaps meta way in this poem, ‘Unknowledge’.
Welcoming Dawn
Another week, another fantasy poem! This is another one from the collection that I’ve been writing, which this time focuses on sunrise and a rather nice ritual-esque occurrence that happens within this setting, so I hope that you enjoy it!
Cats & Dogs
A bit of a fun one this week! This is another poem from the fantasy collection/project that I’m working on, but as you may have guessed by the title, it’s got a pretty specific focus – or rather, two! I hope that you enjoy this poem.
The Grey Gawker
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!
