Last night at my Draft & Craft we worked with poetry. I will not lie, I do not consider myself a poet. The last time I wrote a poem was in high school during my, angry teen gonna write a rock album phase. I really feel poets are the best of the best with words. … Continue reading Poetry

Walls and Windows
This next piece is from my Wednesday group. It was an exercise that I really liked. I am trying hard not to make it political, just personal. It was basically done in about an hour that night.
