It’s National Poetry Month this month, and Camp National Novel Writing Month, so I decided I’d try to write a poem each day for the month of April.

But I’m back now, and this week’s poem is sort of still in line with what I felt last week. That summer is ending, and Autumn is beginning. … More Poem of the Week: Season’s Turn

This poem was inspired by a song, but also a little on how I’ve been feeling lately. The song is a new one I’ve discovered, called Paper Planes by Elina. I recommend you check it out. It’s a beautiful, lyrical piece of music, inspiring and melodic. … More Poem of the Week: Castles in the Air

Well, I’m not entirely sure where today’s weekly poem came from, but I blame the theme on the fact that I’ve been lighting candles in the room while I’ve been working the last few days… so maybe that’s it. … More Poem of the Week: Oh Flame, Oh Fire
