Heyoo friends, this week has been quite a bit busy as it's week of mock trial state competition, so I decided to share these two poems I've written recently, instead of skipping out of posting all together.

This week I was struggling to write a poem for a class I'm taking and so I returned to the 50 cent copy of Emma I have abused for over a year now, and this was the product. When you are looking for inspiration, where do you go?
