Hello there, I'm Rachael.
For me the act of writing poetry is so many things. It's confessional, diary-keeping, hopeless speculation, problem solving, story-telling, therapy, anger management and relaxation all rolled into one convenient (and free) package. Almost everything I write is from personal experience. And because of the anonymous nature of a blog, I feel comfortable sharing things I wouldn't dream telling anyone in my everyday life. I suppose it's my outlet, my own little secret endeavour that keeps me sane and is entirely mine. I make no promises of producing 'quality' pieces of worthwhile literature. My main objective is to be honest, and hopefully you'll be able to find something you can to relate to in this jumble of words.

Thanks for visiting. Ask me questions.

I catch his eye across the room,
the swig of a beer - a decision to be made soon.
Think fast, and drink even faster,
if I play my cards right, this won’t be a disaster.
Chanting: My carbonated bubble won’t burst,
so who will make take the long walk, diving in head first?
It’s a risk, and my heart is full of jeopardy,
but meeting someone new is the only remedy.
I give him a smile, let him know I won’t bite (yet).
Then make him an offer he’s not likely to forget…
This was when we first met.
