Our pasts aren't perfect
Languages evolve
Science identifies patterns
Leading to conclusions
Numbers commingling
Can lead to
Infinite possibilities
Opinions aren't facts
Nor are they all
Equally valid
Bias can stunt growth
Equity is not
Socialism nor communism
We can't learn
If we won't listen
Closed minds
Don't have enough
Room to grow
Write a List, Start a Habit
List poems are one of the easiest ways to start writing. They don’t need rhyme or metaphor. Just a focus—an idea, a feeling, a question—and a series of lines.
You can list memories, contradictions, observations, or truths. Over time, meaning will start to build through the pattern itself. The shape will find you.
List poems are how I return to writing when I feel stuck. They are small steps that lead somewhere.
✍️ Your Turn
Write a list poem. Let the lines pile up and see what they reveal. Share yours in the comments or post a link—I’d love to read it.
