I profess
no poetic prowess
my ink
simply thoughts
seeped in
emotion
yearnings
lusty desires
it marks my pages
without permission
and calls itself
poetry

I was no princess
but you gave me
an invisible crown
and suddenly
I was
someone’s important
someone’s cherished thought
someone’s day and night
someone’s everything
I felt the role
wore it proudly
humbled and honored
by your gesture
readjusting the fit
every day
to be
the best me
for you

I cannot tell you how overwhelmed I am to see this on my comment feed. Each and every one of you who followed me has my most humble thanks and gratitude. Never did I think this blog would amount to much in such a huge world of fantastic writers and authors. I am a mere peon in this social media sphere, but it has become a home where I feel more and more comfortable. The inspiring people I have met through WordPress and connected with have done more for me as a writer than they will ever know. Being invited to the godoggocafe.com as a Barista has been an experience to grow, collaborate, and discuss being a writer, and I am forever grateful to each person involved in the site. Come visit!
I appreciate all you offer me in your likes and comments. I’ll be updating this blog at some point, and you will all know a little bit more about who I really am. Please keep coming around my friends!
Loves and hugs,
Midwest Fantasy

Sometimes
I pour you through me
Me…
a funnel
wanting to be filled
but you run right out
leaving me
as empty
as I started

Happy 2018 my readers and friends. My apologies for being a bit absent from this blog in the last few months. I never felt much I was writing was worthy of this page. And…life was busy, and I lost a bit of mojo.
I’m going to try in this new year to be more diligent in my writing and more organized. With so many media sites, I tend to lose one along the way and not give it the deserved attention. We all have different audiences depending on the sites we use, and I feel a connection and duty to each.
This being said, I hope you welcome me back and continue to read. You all are important to me and this journey to wherever I am going! There are definitely things I want to accomplish, and this blog is a part of that.
Your writer friend,
Midwest Fantasy (Beth Amanda)
This poem was written for a writing prompt on Twitter and based on the title of my dear friend Entirety J. Roberts‘ first published book of poetry “Dear Poet- A Book of Uncommon Prayers.” It is a must read book of her heart and soul which helped lead me to this poem.
Dear Poet,
You captured me
extracted words
from marrow of my bones
sucked ink
from barely pumping veins
poured it all
onto a page
and blessed me
with the honor
of becoming one
with you
