NOTICE


Hello! I've decided that I'm going to try and get published! Unfortunately, that means there'll be some changes around here. Drastic changes. You see, publishers aren't all too happy when an author's poems are publicly accessible online. So I'm having to take measures to remove my poetry from the internet. That means placing this header at the top of my poetry, and then once search engines have updated their listings, removing it entirely.

I know, I know, you'll (hopefully) miss me. But this is a necessary step for me to grow and progress as an artist. I've loved being able to share my work for free, but in the end, the satisfaction I get sharing free art doesn't pay for my food or electricity, sadly. And, being published should help my exposure, as well.

I hope that you all like my work enough that you'll buy my book whenever it happens! It'll contain a mix of both old stuff, and new stuff you'll never have seen before. Look forward to it!



Sometimes I think, sometimes I wonder,
whatever happened to those he put under?
Are they still broken, are they still sold,
or have they broke free and thusly grown bold?

Are they alive? Or are they dead?
Can they still function with nout in their head?
Are they then suffering? Or are they free?
Is there a way for us to truly see?

And then who's more favored? The dead or the free?
As our world crumbles, turning to debris?
As time marches so, the world turning on,
I wonder, am I lucky, to not also be gone?
As the world turns and as it slowly burns, I am lost in thought.
