hi, i'm alex. it's a pleasure to meet you.

i like about half of my poetry, but i use very little discretion in choosing what to post. you know that feeling you get when you read something you wrote a long time ago and you can't help but cringe? like a little personal embarrassment? i get that pretty often, so a nice review always makes me feel better. criticism helps too, though, because i like to know what sucks.

review me and i'll try to review you back! i might not like your stuff though. sorry. surely someone loves you, bad poetry and all.

:D
