Letter (written by Sarah Bennett) I wrote a letter to the person I used to be / placed it in a postbox without a return address / it turned up at my front door a few days later / I always thought I could be separate people / that I could pretend the girl I … Continue reading Letter / Poem

Beauty / Poem
Beauty (written by Sarah Bennett) There is a longing to find beauty, Even when it offers no solution to the problems in our hands. But there is something true in what we seek, Beauty cannot make our problems disappear but it can help us understand. A little poem for a little cloudy Thursday. Sarah xx
Nanna / Poem
Nanna (written by Sarah Bennett) She hands me the plate Even though I have already had seconds. “Are you hungry?” She asks. “It was good,” I say, “I’m just full.” It’s the third time I’ve told her I’m not hungry. This is how she cares for me. She leans over and tucks a piece of … Continue reading Nanna / Poem
Fishing / Poem
Fishing (written by Sarah Bennett) Someone gives me a compliment I did not ask for, And you say I’m fishing for it. Only I did not want what I caught, I did not eat what I caught, I threw it back into the ocean Where every other nice word said about me Has sunk to … Continue reading Fishing / Poem
Spring / Poem
Spring (Written by Sarah Bennett) There’s washing on the line and a poem in my heart, A fullness of joy that’s been in hiding. Was I the one who sent it away? There are walks to be had and flowers to plant, The sun filters through the windows, shining. A slow, happy day. Interestingly, I … Continue reading Spring / Poem

Minimalism, running (perhaps this isn’t mentioned as much as it should be), social media (or lack thereof). They seem to be in rotation. While writing and reading are constant on this blog, and the glory to God behind everything I write, … Continue reading Leaving Social Media (for good)
A Spark of Creativity
The classic combination of a chai tea and the promise of a new blog post. I love this feeling. The possibilities, the inspiration. Or maybe, more accurately, the want of inspiration. The creativity that comes when you begin to write. I only have one assignment left and then I’ll be free of trimester one, and … Continue reading A Spark of Creativity
Autumn / Poem
Autumn (written by Sarah Bennett) autumn always feels the same / or / I always feel the same in autumn / stepping out into the evening is a swirling of loneliness / not the hopeless kind / the matter-of-fact kind / this does not scare me anymore / it’s like returning to an old friend … Continue reading Autumn / Poem
Winter / Poem
I realise I’ve been uploading a lot of poems and little else. I feel like I’m getting back in the game and need to catch up, so I’m posting an array of new and old in the hopes my blog will represent how I spend my time, what I think about, what I care about, … Continue reading Winter / Poem
Gone / Poem
In this post I mentioned how I took some old blog posts and turned them into poems. Here’s the second one, rewritten from this post. Again, I didn’t change too much, mostly just the format. Although I didn't include the entire post but contained it so the poem conveys one message. Gone (Written by Sarah … Continue reading Gone / Poem
