Almost all of my poetry was written in the order it was posted, starting with "The First Leaf". Many of those poems were written years ago, so while I will consider constructive criticism for its own purpose, it isn't my priority. Recent poetry is a higher priority if you want to help me critically.

Enjoy the poetry and please comment and help out where you can!

I am 17 years in senior year of high school . I am taking Spanish III + IV, AP US Government, AP English Composition, Physics, and Psychology. I enjoy debating and talking in general about anything. I believe that the answer to most things can be found with logic.

I am almost never on Yahoo! or AIM so if you want to IM me, email me first!

I like joking around, having a purpose, movies, and food. I'm an extremely liberal antiprohibitionist idealist vegan. What else do you need to know?
