Outnumbered. A poem to remind us that we are worth more than all the numerical values we are given.
A reminder not to become defined by the numbers we are assigned throughout our lives. We are so much more than that. #beckyhemsley #beckyhemsleypoetry #britishaccent #poemoftheday #poetry #poetryreading #rhyme #morethanascore #outnumbered #examseason

A poem I wrote about the common phrase "like a girl" and how it serves to underestimate girls and women and all that they are capable of. #beckyhemsley #beckyhemsleypoetry #britishaccent #likeagirl #poemoftheday #poetry #poetryreading #poetrystatus
If my life was a song. A poem about the music of our lives.
มุมมอง 600ปีที่แล้ว
I adore music. I think the way we are moved by music tells us so much about ourselves and similarly, the music other people love can tell us so much about them. #spokenword #beckyhemsley #beckyhemsleypoetry #poetry #rhyme #poetryreading #poetrystatus #britishaccent #music #ifmylifewasasong #songofmylife #musicofmysoul #listen #beckyhemsleybreathe

Listen. A poem about what we can hear when it rains.
มุมมอง 681ปีที่แล้ว
The sky is a powerful thing. It teaches us the power there is in letting go of our tears. Water can be incredibly soothing and therapeutic - so it stands to reason that our tears can serve the same purpose. This is to remind us of that. The video is a spoken word reading with images and rain water sounds in the background for relaxing to. #spokenword #beckyhemsley #beckyhemsleypoetry #poetry #r...

Chapters. A poem about sticking to our story - even the parts we don't particularly like.
มุมมอง 280ปีที่แล้ว
Sometimes we are tempted to edit our stories - take out the things we've done and the characters we've created and met. But without the whole story, our tale might not really make sense. And we might not learn the lessons we need to learn. #beckyhemsley #chapters #beckyhemsleypoetry #spokenword #poetry #rhyme #rhymingpoetry #beckyhemsleybreathe #poetryreading #thoughtsonlife #editing

4am. A poem about letting go of the worries that keep us awake at night.
มุมมอง 549ปีที่แล้ว
I wrote this poem during the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020. 4am was a time that I was seeing over and over again when I would wake up wondering and worrying about all the uncertainties of life at that time. I figured other people might be feeling the same way, so I wrote this. It is from the book Talking to the Wild and is one of my most popular ones whenever it is shared. www.amazon.com/Talking...
I am your harbour. A poem I wrote for my two children about the depth of love you feel as a parent.
มุมมอง 446ปีที่แล้ว
I wrote this poem many years ago now when my children were much younger. I have explored a few more depths and layers since then but I know there will be many more to discover! I have two children so, at the end, I used 'two oceans', however, it can apply to you, however many children you may have. The poem has also been used as wedding vows so it does not have to only apply to a parent-child r...

Wonderful and so true
How are you Becky?
I absolutely love your poems. It speaks deep into my soul.
Bought this framed for my niece going ti college this fall❤❤
this is perfect. Forest bathing is essential for my brain and soul...this hits home.
So glad I've been introduced to your lovely poetry.
Thank you
The way you use the embers of your will to carry on.
As a poet, who don't like poetry, I have to say, Thank you for being you. to use your words. ❤
I love gardening so also love rain, and love how you explain the grey skies and rain😮
Thank you for taking your time to recite your poems and release them on TH-cam for those of us who did not understand the masterpieces that are your gift and work ❤
“Grant yourself compassion” Thank you for speaking this truth as so many carry so much that could be healed with this truth.
I am nearing the end of my 5th decade of a life that has been filled with miracles, broken glass ceilings, successful physical competitions, professional success….and failures, embarrassments, injuries, losses, disapprovals, and disappointments 🫢 How wise you are to understand the importance of EVERY experience, whether positive or negative, to make our unique journeys through life…and IF NOT HIDDEN IN SHAME, perhaps a gift for the next generation to learn the life includes all experiences 😊
Yet again, you share another brilliant insight of living and surviving and honesty that is so complicated to feel, & yet you simply but eloquently explain the hidden truths. 😊
I have listened to many of your TH-cams reciting your poems-do you 😮understand…really understand to your soul…how amazing and wonderful your gifts are? ❤I am a physician👩🏽⚕️. I started programming computers at 8 years old and programmed 💻for the military. I competed in mountain biking 🚵♀️and swimming. I did research at prestigious medical centers 🤓like Duke in North Carolina. But I NEVER COULD APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY AND MESSAGES OF ALL THE POETRY I READ…❤until I heard and watched your reading and examined your facial muscles and breathes at just the right spot…👐👐soothing my soul more than any reward or treatment I have ever received 🥹
I had read the piece before and was humbled by the simplicity the author used to explain my decades of struggle and growth as a scientist and a professional. And then I watch this TH-cam with the author explaining in her beautiful voice why they chose to hide a butterfly in every scene…brilliant and true…because the metamorphosis of a butterfly is constant change…but with a designed PURPOSE😮
As you say, Thank you for being you.
