Menecairiel• Show poetry

Hello, fellow poets, travellers and other lost people. I am Menecairiel, and this is my little World of Poetry.

Right, and quickly the things you need to know about me. I am a 19 year old female student who has been dabbling in poetry a little too long, but I have always enjoyed it.

I try to stay true to myself, and while my poetry is rarely about me personally, or me as a person, I use aspects of my personality in it. I usually use metaphors for feelings I have, quick and childish and sometimes depressive thoughts that end up in your head, or more profound things. I know, shocking.
 
I also love to write fiction, and sometimes those characters' feelings touch me enough to make me want to write about them. I write a lot on my spare time, usually with CBminstrel, who I have known for years. And since I am not fond of leaking out personally information online, this is about as personally and detailed as this page is likely to get. Apart from odd things, like I find stone angels beautiful, like Catholic churches, love my flat, have a cat...stuff like that. Oh well, that was it.
