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.
I walk a path surrounded by foliage
shrubbery lines the endless mileage
and encounter do I some things grand and fantastic
many questions now come from this querent

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. Soon […]

Angelic breeze tickles my nose
the serenity and beauty of what I know
Nothing is more perfect than the moment of now
Embracing this fact
Intuitively is how…
I canβt be bright, I canβt be calm, I want to write darkness into their arms, the loversβ capacity are shadowed in depth, their fates, true strengths will be met. In the witching hour their magicβs so bright, Moon sprays light into their night and the raven caws deep rumble, sharp, hard, one would never […]
sandboxes bright upon the beach
giggling, smiles, familial scenes,
couples, weft hands,
bended knee, man before woman,
licking waves and swells,
water laps around exposed ankles
cooling, relaxing, please;
heart-warming need,
Healing has a language,
I whisper softly,
airily it knows,
of the simplicity
and the duality
of wondrous beauty,
poetry and prose,
the writers and the poets
swing each way in kind,
whimsical deciduous trees
sway our way,
whispering in turn,
and slightly, just slightly
out of time.
