It's Simply The Way It Is

Hi, I'm Beverley Joy of Simply Story. I wrote this poem ten years before I started sharing my poetry with the world. It was while I was living a very simple lifestyle, travelling around Australia in a motorhome (I lived in a motorhome for four years). I had a supply of writing paper to compose poems on, my old guitar to strum while I quietly sang my favourite songs in the cool of the evening, and my camera with which to capture new places I had discovered, including many quiet, country and bush camping spots alongside creeks and rivers.
When I started to share my poems with the world, I was self-conscious of my style of poetry. It seemed different to other poetry styles that I read. I felt the same way about my singing voice which was soft and gentle, not powerful and loud like so many female singers. But I was encouraged to find a few poets and singers that wrote and sang in a similar style to myself. I soon learnt to just relax and be me and simply share my style of poetry, and those who like it will connect with me and those who don't, won't connect with me and that's ok. Beverley Joy
