Poetry is a beautiful way to make sense of life, even if they might not make sense at first. Poems play with language in ways that make more expressive, specific, versatile, and most importantly, enjoyable. Simply, the joy of making enjoyable poetry for myself and others motivates me to write.
From Poem #18 and onwards (as well as the "Design and School Supplies" article), the photos are taken by me! I'm a novice.
Sometimes I write about other stuff, in prose.
I try to add my favourite in-progress or completed work biweekly (once every two weeks)!

It's been a while since I posted, but I'm glad to be back! The days aren't quite as consistently grey as they were in the fall, but that just makes my mood oscillate even more between the clear skies and rainy afternoons. A poem inspired by moments when monotony dulls even your own sense of emotion, when sadness and joy blend into one.

Inspired by a summer vacation, getting lost in large crowds, and what counts as a post-apocalyptic world.

Inspired by walking in a small-ish public park with beautiful, towering trees. As I approached the path's end, I found myself longing not to go back into the rush of cars and pavement.

Inspired by indifference, cat behaviour, and the local birds.

Written in response to a hatred of grass lawns and sudden obsession with underused urban spaces. Working on improving my prose. Unfortunately I couldn't find an image of an actual hellstrip in my photos, so here's another nice flower picture that shows what hellstrips could be.

Inspired by misleading brand slogans, "Ozymandias", and city vacations. While the execution isn't the best, the central metaphor is one of my favourites.

A poem inspired by a very ordinary walk. I intended to practice using short lines when writing this piece and I'm quite happy with how it turned out! :)

A short poem that plays with rhymes, half-rhymes, and assonance. The end of the world always feels relevant.
