Poet Iconic Vol. 1 — A Decade of Poetry
by Kelley Ann Hornyak
For over ten years, I’ve been sharing poems here in an attempt to understand the world — and myself.
Poet Iconic, Vol. 1 gathers the moments I couldn't keep inside: love lost and found, quiet battles with anxiety, the long climb toward healing.
These are poems for anyone who’s ever felt silenced, broken, hopeful, brave.
Each page is a small rebellion, a reminder that your voice matters, even when it shakes.
Some days, writing was survival. Other days, it was celebration.
Either way, every word was a way forward.
The hardest stories to tell are the ones that set you free.

"Persian blue pumps
clicking their way
down haunted hallways,
nonpareil necklace
wrapped around
the throat
of a songbird—
you were youth
dipped in holy water
and set ablaze."#poetry #innerchild #innergoddess
