“Thinking Of You”

The following is an older poem of mine, written some time during the latter half of my high school tenure about a friend* who was in the hospital at the time. It is among the first that I ever performed in front of an audience, and while perhaps not my best work in a literary sense, it remains sentimentally valuable to me:

*[To respect my friend’s privacy, I’ve changed her name in this copy of the poem]

Check back here next week for my new Christmas-related comedy poem!

Titanic

As you’ve probably already deduced from the title, this poem is about the infamous downfall of the RMS Titanic. It would feel wrong for me to say “enjoy” in regard to this sort of poem, so I will instead say that I hope you find it satisfying.

Woodland Retribution

This Tanka was inspired by and written for Writing Knights Press’s upcoming “Karma” anthology. The poem was also written as a means of expressing my frustration with humanity’s unceasing destruction of nature.

Sick

I’ve been adding to this poem periodically over the course of several years, and I’m still not sure it’s done, but regardless, I would like to share it in its current form and ask for feedback as to whether I should end it now or keep it in my “ongoing” poetry folder. Thanks in advance!
