    Be Uncomfortable

    Poetry from the Woods - Original Poems and Spoken Word Season 1 - Episode 52: Be Uncomfortable This last poem completes my year-long project with making sure we continue to challenge ourselves so that we constantly are uncomfortable.  Not uncomfortable to torture ourselves but to allow us to keep learning and evolving as a person.    Email: poetryfromthewoods@outlook.com Episode Music: woods of mötzelbach by Jan Grünfeld is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License

    Rocky Road to Heaven

    Poetry from the Woods - Original Poems and Spoken Word Season 1 - Episode 51: Rocky Road to Heaven A poem that talks through the struggle many have in terms of their religious beliefs and striving to make it to heaven in the afterlife.  I supposed this is an appropriate poem as we celebrate the birth of Jesus in a couple days.  However, no matter your religion I think this poem can apply to anyone.

    Small Town of Tragedy

    Poetry from the Woods - Original Poems and Spoken Word Season 1 - Episode 48:Small Town of Tragedy This poem expresses the sadness in a town, really anywhere in the world, that is experiencing death all too often.  Even though I wrote this 25+ years ago and it does not have any specific relationship to an event in our world, I think deeply now of my hometown of Oxford, Michigan now after the tragic event of a school shooting just over one year ago now.  The pain the community and those closely connected felt during the days, weeks, and months following.

    Single Window View

    Poetry from the Woods - Original Poems and Spoken Word Season 1 - Episode 47: Single Window View We all have our perspective on the world, specific topics, geographies, people, etc. That perspective is only based on what we have experienced, seen, read, etc. There are multiple perspectives about a single topic because everyone experiences things through their lens.  This poem talks about trying to look outside our single window of life and see it through other windows.

    The Suicide Note

    Poetry from the Woods - Original Poems and Spoken Word Season 1 - Episode 45: The Suicide Note This episode highlights the third poem that I have ever wrote in my life.  It speaks of one that might be contemplating suicide and the thought that it will release them of pain.  However, the realization is it not the answer and life is worth fighting through to get to the enjoyment of life. Those with these thoughts need help in talking through their mental health struggles.  Email: poetryfromthewoods@outlook.com Episode Music: woods of mötzelbach by Jan Grünfeld is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License
