Poetry has been one of my greatest allies on my journey of emotional exploration and becoming fully expressed.

Creative Alchemy:
The ability to take an experience that is challenging you and use it as fuel for creative expression

This concept was taught to me by my mentor Adam Rubin during a particularly challenging time of my life. I also was just returning from the jungle in Guatemala and was full of the energy of the plants. As I sat in the airport in Guatemala on my way home, the words started pouring out and never stopped.

When I’m struggling, I write poetry. When I feel depressed, I write poetry. When I need guidance, I write poetry. When I feel inspired, I write poetry. When I’m not feeling inspired, I still try to write poetry. It’s become a part of who I am and how I express my inner thoughts and feelings. There’s a sense of accomplishment, relief, and a collective exhale when I put my pen down each time, my body and soul feeling lighter and more at ease.

Here is a collection of some of my favorite original poems.
May you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Stay Wild, Nikky
