Hello everyone! Isabelle Knight here again! This time I am just posing a short, free verse poem that I wrote today based on my dream.
The wind
ruffling
my hair
as I
race through the air.
I stretch out
my arms,
feeling the wind
hit them
as I steady myself
then
continue to
soar
through the air.
It’s exhilarating.
I look down.
I am
above
everything.
I can see
anything
from here.
The soft, tall
grass
of the plains
swaying
in the wind
as
I soar over
them,
the wind
roaring in my
ears.
I am one
with the wind.
I can see anything.
Go anywhere.
Be
anything.
For a while,
I am
free.
This poem is based on a dream that I had a few nights ago. I didn’t write out my entire dream because that would’ve been… well, it would’ve been extremely strange. All you need to know is that one of the less… appealing characters was in my dream. You will not find her in the poem.
Anyway, I hope that you enjoyed this poem! I haven’t really written free-verse poetry before and it’s not as easy as you think. However, I was inspired by Brown Girl Dreaming to write some free verse. It’s strangely pleasing.
Thanks for coming! Also, I’ll be releasing the cover teaser for Enchantria: Warrior’s Daughter soon!

That poem sent chills down my spine—in a good way. I’m not even sure why. It made me happy and sad and mournful all at once. It just sort of… spoke to me. I feel as though I’ve had my share of weightless moments, and those days when it feels like I’m lost in a dark wood, able to see nothing but my next step. I especially love that last line. Brilliant poetry, Isabelle, from one writer to another.
Exciting , but I don’t know how. Nice poem.
Thx! 🙂 It’s based off of a dream… I’m starting to remember it now. I also crashed into a barrel of apples and had an old lady witch chasing me through a house in my dream… 0_0
I wonder if Auntie somehow made her way into my dream. Ack, that’s scary! (Auntie’s my character from Enchantria…. she’s a CREEPY old lady who basically tried to enchant the main characters…)
I will likely read your books once you are done writing them. ( I have a VERY good feeling that I will not like the wait between current books(That is why I don’t read current books))
Haha, very true! XD I’m only working on the first draft of the fourth book… (new version of the fourth book) And after that there may be ANOTHER book… It’s not certain yet. So… I suppose my finish date would be sometime in 2026?
