Exciting news, folks! 🚀
I'm thrilled to announce that my first official poetry book ✨All American Waste✨will be launching on April 4, 2024 on Amazon! Just in time for #poetrymonth and #indieapril 🤍
A little about the book...
"All American Waste is a collection of poetry that you won't be able to put your finger on! Focusing on the struggles of being a young adult in America, and the seemingly futile search to find what is left of the 'American Dream,' the poems within the pages dance from relatable to powerful, and powerful to bizarre. They put the spotlight on the mundanity of everyday life, the importance of mental health, and the beauty of our fragile environment. There is truly a poem for every person in this book!"
The Fall
A.M. Watson (aka @artsymagee)
May I change?
May I grow?
May I take this very slow?
May I breathe?
May I see?
May I blossom like a tree?
May I shift?
May I stay?
May I love myself today?
-- A.M. Watson (@artsymagee)
Sleep withers away
Each new day, in
Such a special way
One that makes me say
I may survive today...
No Way

Thank you to everyone who stuck with me through my long hiatus from this account! Life happened, as it does, and my focus was taken away from writing and creating for quite a while!
I'm so excited to be back in action and actually WRITING again!!
Stay tuned for new poems, and if you're interested in my artwork you can follow @artsymagee on Instagram and Facebook!
Thank you all again, I can't wait to see what the future holds creatively! Glad to be back! (:

All this wedding planning has been taking
a huge toll on my writing endeavors.
My untouched document stares at me
from its all but forgotten tab as I shift through
cakes, flowers, and dresses in tangled masses.
I hope I can find the time to return to its
blank, blinking boredom before
the big day in October

It was 5:30 pm and you were laughing as the
Breeze was knocking my hair all around me
The smell of the beach stuck under
Our noses
I glanced at you and could help
But to smile
That's when I knew
I could glance at you for
The rest of my life
anna magee (~2013)
I hear sweet lullabies in your laugh
even when you find it too rough, too loud.
I still believe your eyes shine brighter than the sun
even when you're on the verge of breaking down.
I still know that flowers grow from your skin
and that life exists from within
even when you pick them out like they're a sin.
I still see summer in your smile
and hear spring in your sigh
even when you think it's dead season in your life.
I still love you for you
even when you don't love yourself too.

Experience the ridiculous antics of my 20-year-old self through one line of poetry written every day for an entire year!
Each line peaks into the ups and downs, excitements and heartbreaks, trials, and tribulations that come with barging headfirst into your 20s.
Any reviews (especially on Amazon!) or points of constructive criticism are greatly appreciated and more than welcome!
This is just the beginning, folks! It can only get better from here!

Drizzle
Long detested by most,
The drizzle comes down
Upon the once sun soaked
Town amidst Spring Cleaning.
To me a baptism, to drench
Summer into submission,
The perfect waiting game,
As Summer can push and prod
Impatient and imperious
To make frost heaved asphalt
Sizzle and deflate, shimmer
And expel Winter treasure.
The feathered rain remains
Spring’s single defense
Against her fast-paced sibling
Dousing the region in dampness
One half expects a billow of steam
To blanket and clog terrain
Instead clouds collect cotton
Tempered trails of mist
And the cool cloth of condensation
Insists that we revitalize Winter
For one last day.
