Flaxen Moss

Just a cute little poem about moss in all its glory!

Willow's Reverie

This is a collection of dark, introspective poetry. Many of the poems within this piece use elements of the natural world to symbolize elements of the human experience--especially the darker aspects of the human experience. Although the poems within here are dark, I have tried to avoid morbidity; nevertheless, many of the poems do deal with the less-than-pleasant aspects of life (i. e. death, suicide, illness, the apocalypse). None of these themes are glorified, however. My goal for these poems is not to glorify darkness, but to express the pain within my own life artistically for the purpose of helping others endure their own grief. I hope that you enjoy these poems as much as I have enjoyed writing them. Image: "Forest" by Moyan Brenn from Flickr, CC License Attribution. https://www.flickr.com/people/aigle_dore/

Several weeks of being eaten alive by tiny critters (namely, mosquitoes and head lice) inspired this insanity...

Vagary

Vagary: (n) A whimsical, wild, or unusual idea, desire, or action. This poetry collection is intended to be the antithesis of "Willow's Reverie," with a greater emphasis on everyday life, ideas, and people rather than abstract concepts and metaphors based in nature. Peculiarity also abounds within these poems, as I hope to effectively capture the whimsy and beauty of ordinary moments in place and time within the verses. I hope that you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed creating them, and as always, feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Saved by the Grind

This story was inspired by the prompt, "Write a story in which a broken coffee maker has a huge impact on the world around it," discovered on the excellent Tumblr page "Writing Prompts that Don't Suck" (http://awesomewritingprompts.tumblr.com). It is a piece of flash fiction, or "sudden fiction," to be more specific, and is under 600 words.

Haikus: Nature's Whisper

A haiku is a Japanese form of poetry with a line scheme of five, seven, five (referring to syllables). I hope to publish multiple books of haikus, writing a minimum of one poem a day. This is the first poetry collection in the series; enjoy! :)
