We always knew poetry was good for the heart and soul — glad to know it's good for the mind too ♥️ "Much like listening to music or painting, reading poetry has calming effects on the nervous system, boosts mood, and improves working memory." 🫰 #Repost from @medicinalmediaorg #PoetryIsMedicine #SpokenWordLosAngeles #GetLit #WordsIgnite

#FunFactFriday Have you ever wondered where the term 'Chapbook' comes from❓ Keep reading ⬇ "Chapbooks were so called because they were sold by peddlers known as chapmen. Chap comes from the Old English for trade, so a chapman was literally a dealer who sold books. Chapmen would carry boxes containing the conveniently sized editions, either in town on street corners, or traveling through the countryside." -M.I.T. 📚 🤯🤯🤯 #Chapbook #Literature #LiteraryHistory #History #Linguistics #OldEnglish #Reading #Writing #Books #Poetry #FunFact #SpokenWordLosAngeles #PoetryLosAngeles

I want to share the moonlight rays with you under the covers of the sandy beach at Corner’s Bay I want to talk to you feel your warm voice in my ear and look at the reflection of the stars in your baby blues I will feel your candy coated lips stretch and curve to your ears when I’m not looking as I will dive deep within you to retrieve and then release that joyful expression for you are the last woman on earth as you are the only woman I see I will die if I don’t caress your sweet face and trace every wrinkle and line with my index until I know all the contours by memory I wish for the anticipation of our first kiss as we come face to face with our breath of whiskey and the encapsulating scent of burning mesquite I fantasize to be growing weary and tired listening to every one of your stories until the break of dawn as the sun rises in your diamonds and there in your look is where I see the bliss I was never to have again THE COURTSHIP Luiz D.

We could do it scared, but what if we did it *sacred* ? Maybe it’s time to #reframe 🙏🏼♥️ I’ve been thinking about all the messages we get that creativity - writing or performing or sharing any art — takes bravery and the messages that bravery is being scared and doing it anyway. Wondering about all the new/ ancient messages we can dream up for ourselves, bring back in to our world, and what we will create from that place. ✨Heart reminder: Words are magic. That’s why it’s called spell-ing. 💓🌞🔑🙏🏼♥️🔮🧿
