Author has written 82 stories for Fantasy, Humor, General, Fantasy, Life, Love, Family, Friendship, Romance, Essay, and General. The artistic complexion is definitely stifled at the moment. Golly gee, I don't know which I like more. haha, golly gee. What is poetry?--or symbolism for that matter? I use words so loosely, allowing them to stand for greater truths, capitalizing them in order to embellish upon their significance to me. But they are just words. Words, lines, thoughts that have come to birth upon a paper, upon the computer. A fragment of my mind, their existence sometimes occupies more of my life than actuality. Are they even poetry then? Or are they just my thoughts arranged in a certain ratio to develop a sensation of reading a poem? But who decides the concept of poetry? It confuses me immensely. Especially this concept of a network of poets/writers—fictionpress. What is the written word but the written word? How can one’s imagery evoke such emotion while others’ tends to be just words on a paper flat? I am so confused, but forever I will sit here…writing poetry. I forgot, this is a "Bio:" meaning "Biography" I presume. Hmm. Well, I was born to parents and am now the sixteen year old daughter of parents. I live in Michigan, lived on the West Side for twelve years, and now currently reside in the East Side. A major difference between my West Side living and East Side living was the cultures. When I lived on the west side, I lived in the woods. Really, in the woods...I love trees. Trees, were my friends. On the east side, I lived in Detroit for a year and a half, and now live in a suburb off Detroit. Detroit--is very different than tree-life. I have three sisters and two brothers. Which is amusing at times...and serves as a bragging point at other times. The following are sections from my old bio that I felt like saving for *sarcastic voice* sentimental issues. "Obviously, I also think I have some talent in writing...so yeah, please don't lower my self-esteem by horrible reviews. Actually, I don't really care, say what you want, really, just say things...PLEASE...there is nothing better than coming home and getting on the computer (because, you see, I'm obsessed with the computer) and finding that someone else has reviewed my poetry." Coughs*...sentimentalism...*Shakes head* Well, actually...I am quite a sentimental person... Really, I am... Politics and religious organizations amuse me. I mean, I am not an anarchist nor an atheist (is that how you spell?) but the amount of ceremony and greed in both institutions actually sickens me a great deal...yeah... Good, I got that out...it had been plaguing me for quite some time...years in fact...YEARS..and I am not that old, for such amazing thoughts to plague me. (That's a joke) Well, have fun! Drink as much as you want out of the Fountain of Dandelionia...just don't get drunk! No, wait...that sounds strange... | |||||
1.

Shadow of Wind reviewsTrying to soothe one stuck inside his/herself.Poetry: General - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 1 - Words: 37 - Reviews: 4 - Published: 11-6-043. Golden Light Tears reviewsWith trepidation I submit this poem to the users of fictionpress. Yes, I'm being dramatic, but this is my baby. It is one of my favorite poems, and also very true to life. So, with trepidation I send out this poem.Poetry: Love - Rated: K - English - Poetry/Romance - Chapters: 1 - Words: 91 - Reviews: 5 - Published: 10-25-044. withering reviewsAn interesting twist on being infatuated with someone. Well, at least, I think so.Poetry: Love - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 1 - Words: 49 - Reviews: 3 - Published: 9-30-045. Cannot Comprehend reviewsIf you only read one of my recently uploaded pieces-please read this. The poem takes into mind a person who does not question themself-is entirely confident as to who they are. How can one be so confident?Poetry: Life - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 1 - Words: 78 - Reviews: 3 - Published: 8-12-046. Me reviewsThe poems I am uploading tonight are all very short, I have just realized. This one contemplates the idea of the work "me"...how can there be so many "me's running around this world?Poetry: Life - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 1 - Words: 61 - Reviews: 2 - Published: 8-12-047. And I Wait reviewsI hate to clog the "Just In-I know how it annoys some. This work is very short, focusing entirely upon the concept of the purest form of waiting-waiting for the totally unexpected.Poetry: Life - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 1 - Words: 38 - Reviews: 2 - Published: 8-12-048. Grains of Sand reviewsI love the idea of time moving on-I guess this is what marks me as youthful. I suppose I have a certain fascination with everything changing...yet remaining so much the same.Poetry: Life - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 1 - Words: 41 - Reviews: 2 - Published: 8-12-049. My Own Wind reviewsAgain, I have trouble with titles. This poem begins as a feeling-an emotion, and eventually develops into a very prose-y piece. Basically, about wanting to grasp the whole world, to be everyone-not just yourself.Poetry: Life - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 1 - Words: 82 - Reviews: 1 - Published: 8-12-0410. A Haiku reviewsA short story. Some may consider its brevity a reason to categorize it as merely a "sketch"...others have felt that it has a well-devoloped plot. Read for yourself.Fiction: General - Rated: K - English - Tragedy/Mystery - Chapters: 1 - Words: 486 - Reviews: 2 - Published: 7-28-0411. A Thought on Thoughts reviewsSatirizing myself, I guess.

Concerts! reviewsThe title kind of sounds like a really really horrible poem, I know. But I just got back from two concerts adn I think this poem captures and exaggerates the feelings and emotions people have at such events.Poetry: General - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 1 - Words: 548 - Reviews: 2 - Published: 7-9-0413. Wow power comes from this empty page reviewsI'm not sure if this poem is humorous or sincere, it is too new at the moment for me to analyze. It is probably the spawn of my mind lingering in Erasmus' "Praise of Folly" and my own poetry.Poetry: General - Rated: K - English - Humor - Chapters: 1 - Words: 97 - Reviews: 3 - Published: 6-27-0414. I think I'll Light a match reviews"Disillusionment/and I cannot think."

Confusion reviewsAfter reading "The Waste Land" for the nth time (I AM obsessed), reading Looking Backward and watching A Streetcar Named Desire I started to doubt how confusing the world really is...aren't they all just saying the same things?Poetry: General - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 1 - Words: 74 - Reviews: 6 - Published: 5-18-0418. The Aged Responds reviewsBy the subject...it would seem that I am an old person...odd... This poem, as the title states, is a response to the poem "Youths Monologue to the Aged."Poetry: Life - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 1 - Words: 126 - Reviews: 6 - Published: 4-13-0419. Youth's Monologue to the Aged reviewsI do not feel this way, but many adults have decided that the youth think this way. So maybe this poem is humoring them a little too much. Oh well, it was fun to write.Poetry: Life - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 1 - Words: 138 - Reviews: 3 - Published: 4-13-0420. My One Memory reviewsI do not know how to categorize this so I've generalized it...it is a short story, an experiement with imagery.

I'm not sure...I hate summaries so muchPoetry: General - Rated: K - English - Poetry - Chapters: 1 - Words: 130 - Reviews: 5 - Published: 4-12-0425. The Birth of Words reviewsUm...I hate summaries, everyone either sounds really professional or just stupid. And I tend to be one of the stupid people. "This narrator is the "mother" of modern language. Here what she has to say..." See...I told you, but read anyway.Poetry: General - Rated: K - English - Chapters: 1 - Words: 147 - Reviews: 2 - Published: 4-5-0426.
