Different Paths: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry February 23, 2021January 15, 2021No Comments

Different Paths is a poem about how there are different options in life. Sometimes it is confusing and you may choose the wrong path but God can and will guide you.

Paths open.
They may wind away
or lead you home.
One may desire you to stay
while others push you to go.
Only a guide will truly know
what is right and what is true,
so trust the guide.
He will lead you safely home.

Write Up

Pour paintings have been a trend that interests me. They are all so unique, so I did one. Of course, when I was done it didn’t look like something that I could call mine. I decided to add a border of pink and silver. That is what it needed.

What do you think of it? Let me know by commenting down below.

Pen To Paper: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry February 9, 2021January 15, 2021No Comments

Pen To Paper is a poem about writing and the reasons that I write. Writing to me is an exploration and is about discovering things I didn’t realize before.

Pen to paper.
Paper to pen.
I will write
to see the ink flow
to find what's inside of me.
With random ramblings
I find treausres inside.
Whispered words of wisdom
never looked at before 
never thought of in the past,
so I put 
pen to paper.
Paper to pen
and I write.

A Few Fun Old Improv Videos

by tiffanyrecorded January 28, 2021January 26, 2021No Comments

I love improv and for a little bit, I was in a troupe that meant weekly. We would get together and practice improvisational acting through games. Some required multiple people with strict formats. Other games were solo practices. Rant and Rave is one game where you perform an improvized monologue about something you love or hate. The topic would be given to you by the audience or when we were practicing one of the other members.

Around the time I was in that troupe I wanted to do some extra acting so asked Facebook and my friends for prompts. With two prompts I was able to do a rant and rave. The Veruca Salt was a different kind of a prompt where I just made up a monologue. Here are the three videos that came out of the prompts.

Praise Him: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry January 26, 2021January 15, 2021No Comments

This poem is about praising God for all He has done. More and more I want to praise Him for the creativity and life He has given me. That is why more of my current poems are focused on God.

Praise,
praise Him,
who created heaven and earth.
Praise Him,
who guided Israel to the promise land.
Praise Him,
who oh so loved the world.

Please Him,
who gave Jesus to the nations.
Praise Him,
who deated death.
Praise Him,
who oh so loved the world.

Praise Him,
who gives new life.
Praise Him,
who guides you and me.
Praise Him,
who oh so loves the world.

Title: Pink Heart Party

Medium: acrylic on canvas

Size: 5 inches by 7 inches

Year completed: 2020

Write Up

I love combining blue with bright pink to create a beautiful color pallet. In this painting, each heart is a bit different but they all come together to form one painting. In a way, Pink Heart Party shows us that we even when we seem similar each one of us is unique and we can come together to create something of beauty.

My Warrior Cry: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry January 12, 2021December 8, 2020No Comments

Let this be my warrior cry.
If life is a battle field I will fight.
I am in God's army.
I will be on His side.
My battles are His.

Let me put on my armor.
I will stand my ground.
I will fight with God's righteous love,
not against the seen
but what is hiding underneath.

Never Repeat (a poetry reading)

by tiffanyPoetry, recorded January 7, 2021December 8, 2020No Comments

Back in 2013 I wrote and posted Never Repeat. The next year I did a poetry reading of it. I was then going to put it in To Love, but as I edited it and focused the book on the love the poem didn’t fit anymore. Now I get to share it with you here, again.

Never repeat
not a single word
only write your heart,
the soul deep inside.
Let out one song
singing it loud
be proud
of the depths that are felt
dreams while live.
Remember this day
happens but once so
shine light with smiles,
cherish love
and see everything;
never repeating
not a single word.
