“Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.”

— Percy Bysshe Shelley

Welcome!

You have moored at The Poetry Lighthouse, a creative writing community in love with poetry, stories and art—hope you had a smooth sail! Whether you want to read and explore new poetic voices or share your own you’re welcome aboard. Poetry can be the perfect recipe for a broken heart, a furious storm, a chirping robin or a philosophical epiphany, why not? We want to hear those voices who we often forget, those stories that make us wonder, those words we were long seeking to find. What a better way to understand one another in this world but by the glimmering sparkle that unites us in this lighthouse?
