Fear, Like Cancer, Grows

Apr 27, 2018

Good morning, my lovelies!

Today’s poem is inspired by (you guessed it!) a recent episode of Grey’s Anatomy that I watched with my family last night. I love it when I get inspired by what I watch on TV instead of writing like I should be doing…or reading.

Do you have any books that you have read that have inspired a poem?
If so, please feel free to comment them down below.

Sinceriously,

Once a Bitch; Always a Bitch

Apr 26, 2018

Good morning my lovelies,

Today’s poem is inspired by someone who I once considered to be a friend. She has been nothing but mean, bitchy, and cold towards me since we split in junior high. Over the years, I have found that while I no longer hate her, I have zero respect for her (and her mom).

Do you know someone like that? If so, please share in the comments below!

Sinceriously,

Andie

Apr 25, 2018

Greetings Lovelies,

Today’s poem is, of course, inspired by the famous Miss Congeniality quote we all know and love.
Also, today is my mother’s birthday.

GIF Poem

Apr 24, 2018

Good morning darlings,

Today’s poem is a gif poem. This idea was inspiring by a fellow poet and alum, Emily.

She is amazing, and if you have not looked her up yet, you should right here.

Glass Wall

Apr 23, 2018

Good morning my darlings.

Today’s poem is inspired by an instance that my mother-in-law shared with me.
It is never right to lie and build trust with anyone, only with the intention to deceive them in the end.

Have you ever experienced such an happenstance?

The Bakers & the Featherstones

Apr 22, 2018

Hello lovelies,

Today’s poem is inspired by a drawing found in a book I still have from my undergrad days.
It is called, Une Semaine de Bonte. It has all these classic depictions in it.

Have you ever been inspired to write a poem based on a drawing or a painting?

If so, please share them with us all in the comments below!

This month is jammed packed! We got vacation up in Michigan with my in-laws, my gramma coming to town from Florida, our nephew's 1st birthday! Then the much anticipated wedding of @ras614 & @layne.kettelhake! #likeIsaid #jampacked #july #fulloffun

Tonight was awesome! I believe some of my best memories were due to "on a whim" & "last minute" choices where I said "Hell yeah!" Had "enough fun for a mom of a 10 month old" and got home safe. This is also a #throwbackthursday (late post) with a pic in 2014 taken with my bestie Tory! The last one is from 2012. From being old enough to drink after 2 years, 4 years, then 8 years... #thesefriendsaretheshit #iloveyouguys #whatcanisay #wearefamily #gspup #touchtunestv

Spent our morning down at #LauritzenGardens. Soon as we found a tick, we were gone. It was fun. Nathaniel was cooing in his stroller most of time being pushed by Grampa Neil. #funtimeswiththefamily #perfectfriday

My father-in-law got the perfect shot of my son & his doggo! This will definitely be one for the scrapbook! 🧒🐶💙#10monthsold #NathanielLeighton #MaxThePuppy

$We decided to go for a \S/uperman theme for his #10MonthsOld pics. Nathaniel is soooooo close to walking it is ridiculous! He is talking (being vocal) more, slowly weaning himself off the bottle, choosing to eat more table food and being spoon fed more. Just 2 more months to go! #NathanielLeighton #Superman #Superbaby #babyboy$
