Hi, everyone. I am a Poet looking to learn and grow here and make some connections.

I want to take a moment to say thank you and I appreciate you all for your support and patience!! Over the past few weeks, I’ve been a bit absent and I want you to understand why. A few weeks ago, when I was preparing for a huge undertaking for one of my client organizations, I had a tragedy in my family. On the day before I flew out for the first of three poetry events across three states in six days, I found out my father was in the hospital. The day I returned from the first successful event, my father passed on Easter Sunday. In that same window: - I rushed home to make my daughters’ Easter play - Celebrated my youngest daughter’s 8th birthday two days later - Flew back out to complete the final two poetry contests in two different states - And all the while, helped plan my father’s homegoing It was a lot. But this is also the poet life... the life of a poetry business owner. Real life doesn’t pause. Responsibilities don’t disappear. You just learn how to carry it all and keep moving forward. I’m grateful to share that the 3-day military homegoing was a success, and my father was honored well. Why I’m Sharing This Not for sympathy, but for perspective. This journey we’re on requires: - Discipline - Commitment - Adaptability - And the ability to keep building, even when life is happening 🚀 Moving Forward I’m back. Back present. Back focused. Back ready to work. And I hope you are too. We’re already up and we’re moving forward. Let’s get back to the work. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXg7s7AkZgf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== — Christoph

Hi everyone! My name is Michael Teferi, I am a BIPOC Poet, Writer, Positive Psychology Coach, and a Debut Poetry Book Author. I am originally from Ethiopia, yet I was born here in Washington, DC, and grew up in DC, Arlington, and Alexandria, VA. My aunt brought me here to Manassas, VA in the Summer of 2024. I love poetry with a passion. I write my poems based on inspiration, self-help, personal growth, and spirituality. I finished my debut poetry book in September 2025 and it’s called “Transformation: Way of creating one’s life anew”. I also finished my second poetry book in December 2025 and it’s called “Connection: Enjoying and appreciating life fully”. My third poetry book is in progress, as I have written 27 poems and I plan on writing additional poems until I complete my trilogy; My third poetry book is called “Phenomenal: Being who one is born to be”. Hope to hear back from you sometime soon everybody! I would love to connect with inspired readers, so please let me know your thoughts and opinions about myself and my poetry.
