Metamorphosis of my life
After years of life that I've been through, As a caterpillar in heart so blue, Growing up in the land of confusion, And the mentality of seclusion. Watching at butterflies come and go, Desirably...

Verses In Dialogue: Joyce and Atwood Revised
James Joyce: In winding streets of Dublin, I did dwell, found Ulyssean tales to weave and tell. In this modern age, voices rise anew. What themes thrive, Margaret, in works like you? Margaret Atwood: Ah, James, your stream, like a cerebral...

False Insanity
No need to hurry; No need to hustle; The waves do carry Our each sandcastle. Life contains a measured beat; We need to accept all; Freedom has a deep seat, As we're given the call. All things seem pointless; What is the truth then? Of...

That's Why I Gave Up On Writing
When my pen brushes the page, My fingers seem to tense And when the words try to form, They don't seem to make sense. I can't get it right, Haiku, free verse, With each line, It only gets worse. I try and fail, Who...
