This is a piece I wrote for my independent study--I had to pick a news article and then turn it into a poem. I picked one article that had to deal with a little boy going missing in the Missouri River. It's a little morbid compared to what I usually write.

A Letter to My Future Self

Let me know what you think!

Living and Learning

I wanted to sit down and try to write an actual blog post because lately it feels like everything is swirling around me. One problem after another keeps popping up in my life and I think it's time to start blowing off a little steam.

I've been working on a piece that has to deal with the superficiality of the "number system" that guys sometimes use. Let me know what you think!

Thoughts Before Bed

An unedited poem that I felt like sharing.
