Hiya. I'm orriel, a 14-year-old female from the midwest. I hope you enjoy my writing. Some of these are quite old, from up to 3 years ago (soon to be 4), I believe, so please judge my skills on the later pieces, not the earlier.

I am currently on the favorites list of 2 people (thank you greenbug67 and The Dark Elfy Chick)! Woo. Go me. :rolls eyes:

Yay! I got a monologue and I'm student director for the play :D It's basically a whole bunch of mini-skits (with many people in them), so to have a section all to myself is a big deal. I'm so happy :D

I return every review I recieve, and I love constructive criticism :hinthint: Thank you!


1. A Clear Sea reviews
I felt adrift, alone, and I didn't care. But then I did. Probably not the greatest, but I'd really appreciate it if you took the time to read it. Thank you.

2. Shattered reviews
What a broken heart can do to a person... sorry, that's all I can think of to summarize this poem. The rhythm's a little kooky, but overall I like it. Please r/r!

3. Three AM reviews
I couldn't sleep, so I got out my laptop and started to write. The idea for a poem slowly came to mind, so I typed it up and tweaked it around a bit. Kind of strange (not surprising since it was written very late), but I hope you'll like it.

4. The Song is Still the Same reviews
Written for a class.. I'm not sure if I'll use it, 'cause I'm not sure what I think about it. I could really use some feedback. This poem was supposed to be about a twisting cage.

5. Darker Sister reviews
My sister is several years older than me; an adult. This is about how I miss her, and about how annoying it is to have people confuse you for a sibling. If something looks strange, it's because fictionpress deleted some of my spacing.

6. Caged Flight reviews
I put this under nature, but it has a deeper meaning. I see it as a metaphor for the way people struggle to be themselves, but it's open to interpretation.

7. Confidante reviews
Written as the second half of a form study (the first half being 'I am Sekai) About night and the dark - which I love.

8. Rant reviews
Something I really needed to get off my chest. Basically, just about life and school in general. Sorry this is such a boring summary :)

15. The Diorn Chronicles reviews
This is a semi-long story about a girl named Ambidine who lives in the land of Diorn. I don't want to say too much; I might give something away. I wrote part 1 as an assignment for school, so the other parts will obviously be better.

All is spawned from the small things, Those we overlook. So much can come from a sapling or a ladybug, Yet we fail to notice these accomplishments, for to us it's the big things that matter most.
