03.06.06: I've finally started the "passing thoughts" series I hinted at a few months ago. I have over a dozen poems ready to go, but I don't feel like mass uploading since I'll probably end up on hiatus afterwards if I do. Although, because I'm in a creative writing class this semester, I also have poems from class that I plan to upload in the future, after they've gone through strict and copious editing.

Do not lie on your stomach when your ribs are bruised. It is most unpleasant.

"I must study politics and war, that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, and naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, and poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."
~John Adams

There were the roses, in the rain.
Don't cut them, I pleaded.
They won't last, she said
But they're so beautiful
where they are.
Agh, we were all beautiful once, she
said,
and cut them and gave them to me
in my hand.
