The most important thing you should know about me, is that I have nothing to tell you about myself that matters at all.

To humor myself and others, here is a description that may explain my writing:

I am in an 11th grade American Literature class with the most amazing teacher in my half of the world. She has imparted such an intelligence and hunger for truth in me like no other.  

I am neither racist nor sexist. I am not against any particular sexual orientation or religion.
However, I cannot stand willful ignorance and stupidity (which is essentially a lack of intelligence).

I can be cynical as hell.

I have read from the romantics, transcendentalists, naturalists, and the realists. I read the classics, the moderns, the …

Poetry / A Common Cold
Version 1

Common Cold I step outside and shiver; Cursing untimely weather. Or – Is it already December? I check my watch. It’s frozen. I’m frozen. The air is blue and grey, And the sheet metal ceiling Grates against the mountain range, And I cannot see the top. Everyone I see: in thermals, In scarves to choke out their chills, But the damage is already done. A common ill sits; damp in their chests. They sneeze through the dreary day. I drive down a familiar road. Without green, I can see in everyone’s ...

Poetry / Drought
Version 1
0 Reviews   0 Comments
This summer has dried me out; Sucked the color right out of my autumn. A whole season that was somehow forgotten Or completely buried in the dust of this drought. I need a raindrop to wash my hands, But I haven't seen one in a fistful of forever. All this bright and sun-shiny weather Won't wash away all these stigmas and brands. It's got me in a funk. I feel drunk, Groggy with this heavy heat. On fire, but still in my seat.

Poetry / I was a Mountain
Version 3
0 Reviews   0 Comments
"I Was A Mountain" or "Mountain Poem" You're mining me empty. You're carving me out. You're using me up. You're making me doubt, The wisdom of my own decision, To let you in without paying commission. You're chipping me away. You're taking me apart. You're shoveling me out. You're melting down my heart, With the tools made from my own iron and steel; With minerals I gave you when I thought you were real. Now you've blown me to pieces. Now you've carted those away. Now you've made yourself wea...

Poetry / Again
I am touched and impressed. This poem struck a chord in me that literally knocked me back a bit. The expressiveness... The punctuation is perfect, the scheme is great, the use of the word "Again" as the title and closing line make this powerful and make it easier for the reader to empathize (if only somewhat) with the emotions put into this poem. I have no critisism for this. Well done, thank you, and you get a 10 for both citeria.
Journal, Diary, & Blogging / ...Cut...
The personal nature of this is engaging, but it needs work. Cutting is a very serious and misunderstood topic, and I think that you handled it fairly well. However, your inconsistent point of view hampers the style and takes away from it's power to affect the reader. You consistently use the first person point of view, but do not keep the same reference for the character. Sometimes you refer to the featured "cutter" as an "I" and other times as "you". If I may suggest one to use, it would be ...
Poetry / Unnatural Causes
Wonderful expressiveness. The father-son relationship from birth is shown in poetic beauty here. I especially enjoyed the end, the definition of love's end. You have described it so well that I have no words to sum it up more accurately in this review. The use of the word "daddy" is a wonderful way to make this new, personal, and relevant. Your poetry speaks for itself, requires no interpretation and leaves me thoughtful. Thank you.
Poetry / Squall
Would you consider this to be modern? I think so. The absence of capitalization but presence of punctuation give it a distinct identity like that of other modern poems. I enjoy your sensory imagery. I can feel, hear, and even smell your poem from my own desk. It is actually a relaxing read, thank you.
Poetry / Communion
This is unlike what I had imagined from the title, and yet perfectly named. The personal glimpse into the narrator's thoughts makes this very engaging. It is new and I admire that. Your punction is fantastic and much appreciated. Thank God for you and few others who know of poetry's laws and origins and let it show without creating washed out mimicry. I thank you for this poem.
