They say that beauty is symmetry – Eyes perfectly spaced. They say that beauty is uniformity – Every hair, perfectly placed. They say that beauty is structure – A foundation perfectly laid.

A poem to the one I love. __________________________________________ They say that words are daggers, Each comes with sharpened tip. With hearts their worldly target, From careless hands they slip. They say that words are mountains, Roots deep within your mind, Once they’re home upon your page, To the world they bind. They say…
Since Halloween falls during the work week, my office has decided to host a department-wide potluck to celebrate the ghouls and goblins and their day of play. To announce the potluck to the staff, I decided to do a play off of Twas the Night Before Christmas and get a few giggles from my team.…
It’s hard to believe that just three weeks ago I completed my BFA in Creative Writing.

Today, Sunday the 29th, marks the last day of my full-time student status. I can’t believe it’s finally over. I feel like the last two and a half years has flown by and the fact that graduation is just a few days away is equally exciting and terrifying. I find myself logging into the portal,…
