SINKING INTO THE MATTRESS WHILE MY FUTURE BANGS ON THE DOOR

     I have been super into long titles lately. Here is a piece I wrote for last week’s workshop. College is on the mind, the future is on the mind, I am scared but life goes on whether I am sure of it or not. Anyway, read!

Hollow Chest

     I actually didn’t end up reading the Animal Crossing poem for the spring show, I read this instead. Take a look if you’d like.

Ekphrastic Poetry

This is the poem I submitted for the Toledo Museum of Art Poetry Contest, which is a contest where you have to write a poem based on one of the selected pieces. If you win you get a year long membership and a cash prize, as well as your poem displayed next to the piece i think. Included is the tapestry I wrote my poem off of. :)

Spring Reading Pieces: Growth

A couple of pieces I wrote for my spring spoken word show next week. :) Ohio Caverns took a little over a month, the Animal Crossing piece I wrote in one night. The theme is growth, and I've been having a really hard time with it. I'm supposed to write one more piece for it but my mind had been so preoccupied by other things that my poems have constantly just been ending up being about what I've been thinking about and dealing with, which is a little bit of a difficult to thing to fit into the show. I'm sure I can mold it properly, the poem I wrote today was kind of about what I've been going through while also matching the theme. Dunno. We'll see. Enjoy.

King & Lennon

    Um new OC alert. If you remember New Mexican Standoff, that poem was kind of about them. King on the left, Lennon on the right. Their first piece of prose together is in the works.
