Erin Mayer is a writer and editor specializing in personal essays and musings about face creams that probably won't cure her anxiety (but hey, it's worth a shot). Her work has appeared on Bustle, Literary Hub, Man Repeller, Business Insider, and more. She spends her free time drafting tweets she never finishes and reading in front of the television. Find her at erinmayer.com.

Instagram is great for many things. I personally use it to keep up with high school classmates I didn’t even talk to back when I saw them daily, and for a daily dose of influencer-induced FOMO. But social media can also be an incredible source of inspiration. If you’re suffering from writer’s block or simply eager to read more modern poetry, you can do that too. These Instagram poetry accounts will have you reaching for a pen (or Notes app) of your own.

Find inspiration every day with these 15 gorgeous Instagram poetry accounts. poetry | instagram poetry | instagram accounts to follow | instapoets | poetry to read | daily poetry
