what if moss could heal the world’s wounds?I w what if moss could heal the world’s wounds?I wrote this poem in just 10 minutes during an inspiring 'Noticing Nature' poetry workshop at @wordsworthgrasmere in the stunning Lake District 🌿Walking through Wordsworth's woodland, we explored the “textures of sound,” noticed the smallest details and listened to Wordsworth’s own poetry in the landscape that shaped it.I chose moss — soft, resilient, ancient — as my focus. Reciting it in Wordsworth’s garden-orchard felt magical. ✨Here’s the performance of my poem on-site at the Wordsworth Woodland 🎙️🍃What tiny detail in nature has caught your attention recently?🧡✒️ poem: velvet moss 📢 sharing with credit and tag welcome --------------------------------------Ⓒ @purnimacreations | original poetry & art | creative writing workshops | spoken word events | education🏷️ #naturepoetry #spokenword #poetryreel #poetsofinstagram #wordsworth #grasmere #naturewriting #noticingnature #poetrycommunity #viralpoetry #poetryofnature #poetryvideo #writingcommunity #poetryinnature #poeticsoul #instapoetry #creativewriting #poetrylovers #poetrydaily #poetrygram #naturelover #mindfulwriting #writinginspiration #poetrychallenge #poetrylove #poetryperformance #writersofinstagram #poeticexpression #poetrylife #poetryvibesspoken word | performance poetry | creative writing | nature poetry | poetry reel | poetic expression | environmental poetry | poetry in nature | writing inspiration | creative writing workshop
some paintings pull you into their storm...Altho some paintings pull you into their storm...Although @redroompoetry #PoetryMonth has ended its incredible chapter this year, I still have a few final #30in30 submissions to share!This one came from a prompt by the brilliant Amy Crutchfield: “Visit one of the world’s galleries virtually. What impresses, unsettles, or surprises you? Lean into the discomfort. Write about it.”I turned to Van Gogh’s Starry Night - a painting I often use in my ekphrasis workshops and poetry classes to spark imagination. Its restless skies and rippling indigo tides of light feel like both wonder and unease at once. It invites you to plunge into that surreal, whirling beauty - and to write from within its freeing turbulence, born of a star-flecked storm. 🌙💫🎨 If you could step inside any artwork and write from within it, which piece would you choose and why?✒️ poem: flickering fireflies 📢 sharing with credit and tag welcome--------------------------Ⓒ @purnimacreations | original poetry & art | creative writing workshops | spoken word events | education🏷️ #redroompoetry #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers #poetryofinstagram #writersofinstagram #creativewriting #instapoetry #poetsofinstagram #30in30 #ekphrasis #voice #poeticexpression #writingcommunity #writinginspiration #poetrydaily #poetrypower #poetrychallenge #selfexpression #creativeminds #writingprompt #poetryrevolution #healing #art #vangogh #paintings #artgallery #inspiration #poetrypromptekphrastic poetry | art x poetry | creative writing | imagination | self-expression | poetic exploration | poetry community | visual art inspiration | expressive writing | poetic voice
✨ throwback to The Eras Tour in Hamburg — the ✨ throwback to The Eras Tour in Hamburg — the most electric and magical night, full of love, new friendships and the #swifty fandom. It was a dream.I’ve been listening to Taylor since I was a teenager and her extraordinary prowess of words has walked with me through so many chapters of life. As a writer, poet, and English teacher, I’ve always appreciated her as a poet — her work is literature so rich for analysis!Seeing her now, stepping into her own Love Story and finding her End Game 💍 is heartwarming. From repeated playlists to this unforgettable concert night, she is a symbol of so many things - to me, the power of words: self-expression, healing, hope, comfort, empowerment, unity and storytelling — all necessary for connection, self-discovery and living a life full of creativity and passion.For everyone who has ever felt 'different', dreamt big or pursued their passions fearlessly… we know this All Too Well.So much has happened since the Eras Tour that I hadn’t shared these snapshots, but now feels like the perfect time — celebrating all things Swift, love, life and persistence.Some nights stay Enchanted forever… this was definitely one of them 🌟🧡🏷️: #enchanted #swiftlyeverafter #lovestory #theerastour #hamburg #concert #music #songwriting #poetryinspiration #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #writerslife #creativewriting #poetrylovers #writinginspiration #wordsmith #literarylife #authorsofinstagram #poetrysociety #storytelling #creativeexpression #writersnetwork #literarycommunity #writingjourney #educator #poetryisnotdead #writinglove #englishteacherstaylorswift | creativewriting | storytelling | empowerment | voice | writingcommunity | literarylife | writingjourney | swiftie | selfexpression | creativity
what if your authenticity has always lived between what if your authenticity has always lived between the lines?Lines are supposed to guide us. They tell us where to write, where to stop, how to colour neatly, how to fit. But what happens when you’ve never drawn one for yourself? Are you free, unbound… or untethered, always searching for where you belong?For me, poetry lives in that space. Between the written and the unspoken. Between performance and personal reflection. Between belonging everywhere and belonging nowhere. And it’s a beautiful space to be - because belonging isn’t a place, it’s who we are.That’s what I mean when I say I live between the lines. Not in what’s written down neatly for everyone to see, but in the gaps, the pauses, the contradictions. It’s where authenticity sings, where voice becomes activism, and poetry transforms into more than ink on paper — a space where liberation and change trailblaze.This excerpt is from my poem 'Between the Lines' written in response to @redroompoetry #30in30 prompt: 'Speak your truth as if it’s scripture' by @nmmwl'Speak your truth as if it’s scripture. The mic is live, and the revolution is listening — what needs to be heard to set your spirit free?'I loved it because it forced me to ask: what is my truth, and what happens when I dare to give it power to speak about personal and universal experiences, or what can’t be captured inside tidy lines?Poetry isn’t just meant to be read — it’s meant to be heard, felt and carried forward. It belongs to all of us, whether you’re performing, writing or simply finding your voice in everyday life.✨ Swipe to see the full poem.So… what’s your truth if the mic is live?🧡✒️ poem: between the lines 📢 sharing with credit and tag welcome --------------------------Ⓒ @purnimacreations | original poetry & art | creative writing workshops | spoken word events | educationtags: authenticity | activism | self-expression | poetry community | poetry | voice
when students take the mic, they don’t just perf when students take the mic, they don’t just perform - they transform...Can young voices rewrite the future through poetry?The final week of the school year at @bangkok_patana_school ended on a powerful note with the third annual Spoken Word Poetry Showcase 2025: Champions of Change - Inspiring Resilience and Hope.🎤 Year 7–9 students in my Spoken Word Poetry extracurricular (ECA) programme took the stage to perform original spoken word pieces inspired by historical and contemporary changemakers. Each poem connected personal character traits and values with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, proving that no one is too young to make a difference.📖 Alongside the performances, we launched a professionally published anthology, deposited in the National Library of Thailand, preserving their words and visions for the future.From group list poems like Changemakers Are, personification poems and free verse to individual works on gender equality, environmental sustainability, justice, compassion and resilience - the showcase was filled with courage, creativity and authenticity.💡 What made it even more powerful: – Year 8 & 9 students mentored younger performers – Student MCs led the audience through the journey – the community came together to champion these bold voices🧡 As the founder and facilitator of this programme, I couldn’t be prouder! Everyone performed with passion and heart — their artistic expression and growth throughout was phenomenal. I love coaching students in public speaking, creative writing and stage confidence, guiding them to become both performers and published poets. Their words carry hope and advocacy, reinforcing the power of words.📸 Swipe for highlights: performances, rehearsals, their personal poetry collections, awarding of certificates, the published anthology, and a sweet thank you note by these young changemakers.------------- with our Earth needing protest poetry more than ever, what global issues would you stand up for with your words? -------------Ⓒ @purnimacreations | original poetry & art | creative writing workshops | spoken word events | education
