Poetry

The poems shared here were written a number of years ago. I had just returned from the jungle in Guatemala and was full of the energy of the plants. I’ve always been a writer, and have written in journals and little songs and poems for much of my life. But in early 2019, I was introduced to the concept of “creative alchemy,” using creative expression as a way to move through challenges and in the process, turn them into art. And as I sat in the airport in Guatemala on my way home with nothing but time and a little notebook, the words started pouring out.

Now it’s 2024 and if I’m being honest, I struggled to write anything after my mom passed. The shock was too great and I leaned on a different kind of support. Perhaps I will share more current poetry again in time, but for now you can peruse a few from the archives.

May you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Warmly, Nikky
