I’m an east coast American, interested in writing poetry and fiction as long as I can remember. I took a test in 4th grade where they told me I wrote creatively at a college level!

Hope you enjoy reading as much I as I do creating ❣️

My Own Warmth
Cold surrounds me now, Body heat never leaves though - Even ice is warm!

A Thought on the Wind
What happens to a thought that drifts through my mind? Does it float in and out, carried away by the breeze? I even wonder where the thought comes from. If it can wander on in at any moment, did my mind really create it?

The Abandoned, part 1
We’ve all heard something about ghost towns and abandoned buildings. You might think it’s a fascinating but rare phenomenon, but you’d be wrong. If you dig deeper, you’d find it’s actually quite common. Disturbingly common, in fact. There’s at least one in every U.S. state, and thousands around the world. When you add in vacant properties, the list probably balloons to millions.

A Candle in the Woods
One flame burning strong, A point of light among snow - Can it keep its warmth?

So we keep learning about the past. New discoveries come to light. More and more, it seems, every day. I’d say there absolutely has been an increase in archaeological discoveries lately. Our capability only grows, along with our knowledge.

Every day Musings 3
What do you do when you’re feeling stuck? Do you mix things up? Do you stop and take stock of your life? Do you sing, meditate, or take a walk outside? I’d say all of the above!

First off, what is friendship? Yeah, I know… sounds like a stupidly-simple question. But is it? No one person, even between just two people, can decide if the other one is friends with them. If we’re honest with ourselves, we absolutely grapple with that uncertainty. We grapple with it every time.

Every day musings
How do you know when you’re drifting apart from a friend? How do you know you were the best friend you can be? How do you know whether that friend’s actions were worthy of maintaining the friendship?

Civili-musings 2
Let’s stop and ask what a civilization is first. Yeah, I know that sounds like the dumbest question. But think about it… do we easily know that answer?

Civili-musings
Why do civilizations fall? Why with a world around them, a people behind them, and major achievements in their name… do they decline? Why would anyone, any race of people, leave all that behind? Or why does something always happen that forces the people to do so?

Click Away
The images slid across the screen in a dazzling manner. ‘Who doesn’t like to peruse?,’ she thought. Who doesn’t want to have their purchase options laid out in a row? Who doesn’t like the hunt of the next item to acquire?

The Land of Dinos
The radio crackled to life, cutting through the silence that preceded it. A whirring sound came through, as a gramophone began to play classical music. A man in a suit walked up to the hanging microphone.
