Song lyrics often reflect what we, as people, connect with and what we feel. My English teacher in 12th Grade had us do an exercise […]

Seeing that I never really went into this, I decided to devote a blog post about it. Many people […]

I’m an observer over a participator, so I find pleasure in merely taking in the world around me. However, in poetry, I […]

It was something I’d been dreading for a while, seeing as I had no clue what I was doing and where I wanted to go with […]

I don’t have solid images, if any images, and there are no appeals to sense. Much of what I write lately has been based in […]

Everyone has a distinct voice that comes […]

Sixth grade wasn’t the first introduction to poetry as a whole- it’s near impossible to […]
