My Writings
         
     
I have written a lot of things, a lot of them  I have
  saved on   my   computer. 
     If anyone would like to see something I have written, here   some of 
them  are!
     NOTE: Some of these are pretty old, so some are better    than others. 
   
     NOTE: If you have your favorites or history list up, you   should close 
 it,   
     or it will make the alignment look funny on some of the poems.
