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.
