Currently, my blog contains my poetry along with the creative writing responses and final portfolio from an creative writing course spring 2014 and a poetry writing course fall 2014. I would for this to become a collaborative process, and I am actively seeking fellow bloggers and writers who would be interested in linking to each others blogs or becoming a co-author. If you enjoy poetry, short stories, flash fiction, or creative non-fiction, this is the place for you.

Short character sketch - Trashcan
Set out upon a road that hadn't been paved in thirty years rested a steel can lined with rust that had been passed down trough the generations. Within, a broken mason jar with the lid still screwed on was filled with the partially frozen remains of a puréed sweet potato. Beneath the jar were the torn remains of an application for part-time job at Macy's filled two weeks ago, dusted with curdled formula. Compressed, lying just beneath a lid that barely close, was a box of diapers, men's large. And just behind it, sat a tiny house that had been passed down through the generations.

A good portrait of someone who must be desperate. The men's diapers were surprising. I want to see that tiny house more sharply.
