I miss your smile but at leastI see your nose crinkle your eyes upand your freckles creasedas I know you radiate like the sun beneath.Like a sunrise sending colors spiraling to the heavens,even when the sun is hidden, just out of sight.Red roses fall, and the pink flush is warming.I miss your smile but know… Continue reading I miss your smile {poetry}
This past week I stumbled upon some dozen, old half-drafted posts, as one does. Most of them are book reviews, but there was also some musings over Dickens, rants about old classics, thoughts on common writing advice, and a few scattered art dumps. And then there was the one about "mock trial." I know this… Continue reading 17 Things I've Learned and Earned from Competing in Mock Trial
Hello all and happy Saturday! I got tagged by The Arbitrary Fairy some time ago for this fun set of bookish questions (created by Madison), and not even a couple days ago was tagged by Kenechi.

This is an old poem of mine (probably my only good snow poem) and some pictures from this week for you all. Merry Christmas!… Continue reading …and so it snowed
This year my homeschool co-op's junior class includes a seminar on writing poetry. I've been adoring this one, though it's hard to fit in poetry after working on chemistry and algebra and debate for hours each day. At the beginning of the year we were told to bring two things to class: the book we're… Continue reading Poetry Journal Tour | ft. messy handwriting, pictures, and poems I sort of wrote
I think I've gone crazy with my new phone/new camera. I've always thought that the camera is one of the best aspects of a phone, but with getting a new phone and then autumn coming around, and everything so gloriously autumn, I've taken too many pictures to count. I hope you enjoy looking at some… Continue reading Autumn Pictures
