Thank you for taking some time out to visit my poetic corner of the world.
I’m Lauren M. Hancock.
I love expressing myself through poetry, which is why I’ve dedicated my website to this art form, moving forward from the former Alice Well Art content I used to post.
There exists within, a quiet space Where I can gently rest I lay my head upon my pillows Feel downy tenderness I lose myself in unconscious flow Need not be concerned about those who won’t listen I am rising high and low And into a section of My mind A portion Where it’s comforting and […]
Taint my skin with sweet molasses the sweetness a scourge overrides the senses a narrative spoken a tale long shared abstract metamorphosis the thick syrup clings to my hair. Do not wonder at the analysis of yesteryear it is long gone yet they all keep resurfacing is 2022 the year? The year for spirits rising […]

Envious ivy trails round rotten doors, entranceways metamorphic shapeshifting then reality restored, what lies behind the reckoning of Time, a conundrum, in fact, sheer scope, Divine. What cause cataclysmic chasms to collide, immediately doubling or tripling in size? Gargantuan are these sinkholes, blackholes laid in store as winding ivy bends and twists, collectively, more.
