To take a break from my own work and show you something, a form, you probably haven’t seen in a while, here’s the poem I’ve got for you today.
Poetry Place
Overwhelming– Poetry Place
But we all have certain things we run from, pieces of ourselves that are hard to separate from the rest; it can be quite the crisis of self that comes when we try. So here you go, for my finals week, here are two very dramatic poems that I kind of love. Especially the second one
Setting Fire– Poetry Place
Happy Poetry Place day!! So this one is a little different today, it's actually a short story made up of haikus. I wanted to return to haikus for a little bit since they are surprisingly versatile and I also wanted to try to tell a story... Plus, California is on fire so that's partially what…Read more Setting Fire– Poetry Place
Old Fashioned Love– Poetry
Here's a little poetry for your Tuesday, inspired by the older poetry I've been studying in class. It's interesting to realize that most writing was about religion back then, the faith and the hope people put into a power beyond them just to get through their days and their lives. Fascinating really. But, enough of…Read more Old Fashioned Love– Poetry
Robert Frost and an Original– Two Poems
As I head back to SLO today, I'm thinking that sometimes transparency can be a good thing. I wrote the second poem here a little bit ago to play with a new style and in honor of World Suicide Prevention Day which is September 10th; for the love of poetry, I've included one of my…Read more Robert Frost and an Original– Two Poems

OneWith every step this world winds me up. Twist and twist and twist the dial; one more time until it stops. Now let…Read more Two Poem Tuesday
Marionette— A Poem
New poem for you today, this one is a little different but it's a good time for trying out new styles. Feel free to let me know what you think about it. Marionette This world, it handles me like a play toy; A tug this way, a thought that way, suddenly it makes me do…Read more Marionette— A Poem
Penny For My Poems
Another day of poetry for you, here’s something new— short and sweet. I’ve been doing a whole lot of writing in the past few months, trying out new styles and working through what I can. What I’ve got for you today is a lot more recent, partially because my old writing is on my old…Read more Penny For My Poems
Poetry in Modern Antiquity
Happy Poetry Place day! Sorry again for missing the last one due to technical difficulties, if you want to know the poem I was going to share with you, take a look at Tyler Ford’s “Too Much” here. In my AP Lit class senior year, we had a poetry unit where we wrote one poem…Read more Poetry in Modern Antiquity
A Black Woman’s Battle Cry
Just like I promised last week, here is my piece that was performed in the Original Women's Narratives Saturday night. Fair warning, there is explicit content in this and it's a bit longer/stronger than what I usually write. For good reason. Growing up, I feel like the conscious stares whenever my classed talked about MLK in…Read more A Black Woman’s Battle Cry
