Portfolio - Writings

In my spare time, I often enjoy doing some personal writing. Some of these have been published, and I hope to be real author some day. This small offering here is to give an example of some of my creative talents. I'll post more of my works over time as I work up the nerve to do it. I hope you enjoy.

Lightning

Description: I've always been rather proud of this poem. It's one of my first quality works and I've resubmitted it various times over the years. It's always received respect, which can be rather amusing to me at times because I was just a punk in high school when I wrote it.

Victorian

Description: This is one little story that I think I'll always enjoy. It started off as an exercise in form: to see how much of a story could be told without actually having any action. I wanted to take a single moment and see if I could stretch it out into an eternity. My original intent was to create something much longer than this, but after a short number of paragraphs, I realized that the piece was already perfect. To add any more would be to spoil it.

On Dreams Aborted

Description: They say that art is theft and that imitation is the sincerest form of flatery, so the best lines of this poem would probably be artful flattery or some such thing. Just read it. You'll enjoy it

The City, Naked

Description: This is an excerpt from the beginning of an extended work of mine. I've sketched out the skeleton of the work, and this first chapter is one of the few sections that has been fleshed out. It's a little edgy and provocative, but I've had good reactions from the reviewers I've had.
