By Lizzie Arroyo, TIWP Student Trying to exterminate all Barbie dolls is a good motive, but it’s still murder. I mean, I get it, those dolls are goddamn creepy. Grinning at you with those blinding white teeth and hollow eyes. You could be ritually sacrificed with a machete in front of them and they’d still […]
A Little Reminder

The New Day
By Carmella Roberts, TIWP Student Be you—because you will never be better, more entertaining or more beautiful than you already are! Some days will be better than others.

It’s Ourselves
By Katerina Bonderud, TIWP Student It’s that moment. What moment? Well, what moment comes to mind? I am talking about that moment when you realize everything will be okay.

Ulysses
By Lizzie Arroyo, TIWP Student So, I’m supposed to be writing a poem inspired by the poem “Ulysses” about finishing high school and facing new adventures in my life ahead.

A tower of unwashed dishes in the sink. A desk drawer scattered with a rainbow of colored pencils. These […]
Eyes
By Zoe Moga, TIWP Student He always said I had eyes like the ocean. Sometimes a stormy blue. Other times a light mix of blue and green. That made me smile like crazy. I always loved the ocean, so when he said that… I don’t know, it just made me a happier person. His eyes […]
Queen of the Heavens
By Lizzie Arroyo, TIWP Student So, I thought too much about her and now I can’t stop, so I’m just going to get all of her out of my system before I go to bed. Her name was Reyenna Bergljot. The name Reyenna means “Queen of the Heavens.” I’ve always wondered if that had anything […]
To Be Seen
By Dina Varellas, TIWP Board Member A poem inspired by the young writers of the Intuitive Writing Project Scared, she suppresses silently in the shadow of shame. Her rage is but a beautiful storm wet with passion and fiery. Eager to ripen and harvest. Spark beauty out of darkness. Flame into creation. She wants to […]
The Island
By Alexia Tzortzis, TIWP Student The island was full of women. A few of them had gotten sick of everything some years ago and decided to leave, to start a sanctuary for woman. The island they reside on is small, a tropical place of beautiful lush forests and plentiful food. A fierce people, they accept […]
