I wrote this poem sometime around 2010, and it has remained in state of near-constant revision since then. I submitted it to a competition at writer's festival, and it won first place for the adult's poetry division. I think it's some of my best writing, so I wanted to share.

I wrote this a long time ago—I don't even remember when—but I liked the way the words felt in my mouth as I said them. I've included it on this site in an effort to achieve some level of completeness.

I wrote this originally back in 2009. I took an intro to creative writing class and got my feelings hurt pretty badly about my writing, but overall, I think it helped me improve. This poem reflects when I started focusing more on imagery than content. I was also reading a lot of ee cummings at the time.

This is an explanation of what this corner of the website is about, haha.

I... don't even know what this person's profile was about. I think... balloons... somehow? Or the Indian Ocean was mentioned? The Indian Ocean is awfully specific, so it probably involved that—yeah, we'll go with that.
