Welcome

 

Hello! I thought I'd start off with a little introductory post before I post any of my work. 

I'm Caitlin, I'm 21 and I live in Scotland where I'm studying psychology at university. 

I've always loved spoken word and performance poetry. I used to go to music festivals all the time as a kid with my mum and dad and I'd always be enthralled by any spoken word poets doing gigs. I'd drag my mum and dad to watch them when I'm sure they would prefer to watch the music they actually paid to see! I would spend hours on YouTube watching Ted Talks and Button Poetry videos of people performing and was so mesmorised at how people could bring their words to life by performing them on stage. 

It's always been a dream of mine to write and perform poetry myself one day, but a lack of confidence has always stopped me. I never thought I would be good enough to try it out for myself. 

However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown we've all been faced with as a result gave me a lot of time to write and I found that what I was coming out with was actually pretty good and I was really proud of it! 

So, seen as one of my New Years Resolutions was to write more, I thought I'd start this blog to share the poems that I've written and ones that I will write in the future! 

I hope you like them!
