We're all on a voyage. This one is mine.
My third poetry collection, Castles in the Sky, releases on Saturday. I wanted to give you special voyagers an exclusive sneak peek. This is only going to those of you who have subscribed to my blog—nobody else has access to this post. I'm still in awe of the fact that there are 144 of you… Continue reading Exclusive Sneak Peek of My Upcoming Poetry Collection
I had another post scheduled for today. It was a book review, and it would have been easier to do nothing and let it get posted. I'll probably still post it, at some point, but it wasn't right for today. Not when my life feels like it's spinning out of control.

Hello, my voyagers. I've loved writing the "types of girls" poems too much to stop, so I wrote another one.

the sky is on fire, dripping purple lava: amber flecks onyx dust. sunsets fall along charcoal horizons― outlines, sketched skies. my pale moon rises, infinity times the night― a starless void of mental emotion. the sky is on fire, burning crimson and embers of the end. dark evening waters extinguish their threats; their bloodshot battle… Continue reading goodnight
this piece of poetry is something i wrote in response to a couple images i found on pinterest (click here for part 1 of the prompt and here for part 2). i was inspired by the seemingly random bits of information and quirks that were used to describe and flesh out people. so i took… Continue reading Hours
