  • Shrink And Grow Poem

    Change is constant. What I am today is different than yesterday. With every action my size shifts. Not every action has the desired effect. I find myself in situations not built for me. Alice a just as curious twin. *** Some days I drink the “drink me” tonic for my soul. I end up lost…

  • The Benefits Of Leaving The House

    Big surprise, turns out that your parents telling you to spend time outside as a kid were onto something. With our current day and age, it’s incredibly easy to do everything from home. A person can work from home, order food to the house, and even access a wide variety of media from the comfort…

  • The Perfect Place Poem

    There is a place where my heart can grow. Where the calm never breaks and tears never flow. The temperature is never too hot and cold acts as an excuse for cozy behavior. A cabin somewhere green and dwarfed by the trees. A clear aired place where I can just sit. My mind and soul…

  • Who Is It? Poem

    You lean down and gently kiss my forehead. Tingling. Beats. Pleasing. Warm. I look up at your face in response but see nothing. Blank. Undefined. Nostalgic. Unknown. It’s our wedding day and a long planned event. Extravagant. Cheap. Lovely. Disappointing. Concern builds as I hope it goes on without a problem. Loved. Abandoned. Exciting. Ignored.…

  • The Final Horizon Poem

    There is a place I cannot see. The end of the world for my mind’s eye. A place beyond knowledge but no longer expectation. A hidden place that lays further. I may never reach there or be wrong entirely, But that final horizon is ever closer. *** That place I dread thinking of, But cannot…

  • The Watcher Poem

    The watcher sees all. The sadness heavy in the air. Hidden secrets laid bare. The walls invisible to all else. The watcher sees it all and admires. For it can do nothing else. *** Even if the watcher wanted to they remain in place. Feet affixed to the ground. Unable to take the best path…

  • The Case For Game Emulators

    Those that are aware of recent game news know that Nintendo recently got a game emulator shut down. Of course Nintendo is known for being absolutely ruthless, but that type of attitude is not unusual towards emulators. Emulators are in essence game pirating. Companies hate it and have the right to take action if it…

  • Dreams Poem

    Dreams are a funny thing. A dragon fruit transforming into a bird woman. Chased by a rabid hamster. A bed at cloud level. There’s something under that crib. Portal in the closet. Hand in the blender. A vacation by the sea. Unprepared for test. Kittens on my lap. Is there a pattern to it all?…

  • Hope Poem

    I wonder what a leaf thinks? As colors spread to cloud out the green. As it dances upon the surface of the water to see it’s beauty. A final ballet. Does it see the warm hue decorated across? Or more so the long since shriveled leaves around it? *** Does a caterpillar ponder the change?…
