Nikki Reynolds Poet Rhyme

Baring It All

The words I write
bare my soul
My thoughts take flight
My mind unfolds

I have no fear of being judged
No worries of how you take my words,
reputation being smudged
I feel as free as a bird

The rush is worth way more than gold
The feeling of freedom rushes in
It's like stepping out of my clothes
The cool air on my bare skin

Naked is the word that comes to mind
Goose bumps rise upon my skin
Of modesty there is no sign
Oh yeah she's naked again!!

Barry Stebbings November 14, 2016 at 8:05 AM Poetry is very revealing, underlying feelings show through. I find it satisfying to be able to write in a style not available in prose or speech and I enjoy trying the many different forms. Nikki Reynolds November 14, 2016 at 10:35 PM Most of my poems are very personal and contain my most inner thoughts.

Darren White November 14, 2016 at 12:03 AM Writing poetry is very much that for me. I show myself, naked and vulnerable, to everyone who wants to see me. I write for myself, even when I enter contests. Still, having people comment, is a warm shower too :) Darren White November 21, 2016 at 1:00 PM Coming back to you with congratulations!!! Wonderful :) Nikki Reynolds November 14, 2016 at 10:34 PM Thank you and good luck to you! Darren White November 14, 2016 at 12:04 AM I entered the contest too. Good luck to you!

Daniel Turner November 13, 2016 at 9:17 AM That is exactly what writers/poets do. They bare their soul. Some sort of cleansing I believe. Love your poem, Nikki. You grabbed my attention with a catchy title:) Nikki Reynolds November 13, 2016 at 5:39 PM Thank you. I wrote it for a contest on here. The theme was "naked". LOL
