NaPoWriMo 2026 – Day 1

Stillness. Silence. Reflection.

In these moments, I reconnect with what my body already knows – each heartbeat, each breath, each subtle movement. Sensations I had long forgotten rise to awareness, reminding me of what it means to truly feel.

The #RiverHeronReview poetry prompt (body centred), inspired by Lauren Wright’s photography, became more than an exercise – a meditative journey, a gentle healing process.

Through words, movement, and attention, I found a rhythm that carries me back to home, to presence, to self.

NaPoWriMo 2025 – Day 30

April Poetry Writing Month – Day 30

On the final day of April Poetry Writing Month 2025, I reflect on the experience of writing poetry for 30 days – using stream of consciousness, a literary technique masterfully employed by Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), a leading modernist author of the 20th Century.

This style allows thoughts to flow freely, unfiltered and spontaneous, capturing the inner workings of the mind in a realistic way.

Thank you (all) for pausing, reading, and supporting these poems throughout the journey.
