Adventures in Poetry: “Snow Globe”
Occasionally I will post a poem or some other piece of writing on my blog under the title “Adventures in …” Why? Because I like sharing and sometimes I write things that I don’t feel like publishing, for one reason or another. And if I’m not going to publish it through traditional channels, I might […]
#NaPoWriMo Entry #14: “Not a Poem”
Yes, I have become an emo poet. Whatever. Personal bullshit compels me to write things that reflect the confusion crap going on in my head, even if said poems don’t make sense.
