Unsurprisingly, I don’t dream, or rather remember my dreams, enough to consistently write dream poems. But since I’m in poetry kick at the moment, I guess I’ll share a few of Langston Hughes poems with a dream theme. These always got me thinking my dreams and aspirations in life and helped me see them through […]

Visceral Tangibility
So I guess I’ll continue to give the poetry a shot. I’ve honestly been too preoccupied to write much of anything lately, which is in no way a suitable excuse but there ya go. I wrote this poem short after my uncle, who was sort of a father figure for me, passed away a couple […]
Dreams of Stranger Times
So I’m thinking about getting back into poetry. But the extent of my “good” poetry is pretty much exclusively dream poems, in which I have a dream, wake up and write it down, then transform it into a poem. So I guess I’ll just share a few I wrote while at university and see how […]
Like You Mean It
“Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.” -Yehuda Berg Sometimes I […]
Don’t let your dreams be dreams
“Don’t assume your dreams are just fantasy. If you can imagine a world, believe in it… and dive in.” Yeah, this is another Kingdom Hearts reference. Sorry, not sorry. And yeah, that headline is from Shia LaBeouf’s “Just Do It” motivational speech. Again, sorry, not sorry. Anyway. I’ve been having these weird thoughts lately. We’re done with […]
In the Most Unlikely of Places
I think I find it a little odd that some of my posts are well received, by my standards anyway, I know this isn’t a wildly popular blog. When I wake up on a day like today and have absolutely no idea what I’m going to write about, I just briefly think of something that’s […]
My Boy Bernie
Well friends, I wasted a lot of time today, not that I had a topic in the first place. So here’s a quickie. Something really important happened today. Bernie Sanders introduced a bill to expand Medicare for all. It’s definitely worth a read but I’m not fully educated on the topic, so check out this […]
Staying Animated
Last night, a few of my friends were discussing really bad anime that we could all agree were just poorly done. For each one we agreed on, there was always something that went wrong with the first couple of episodes. Despite what you’re probably thinking, I don’t mean the first couple of episodes were always […]
A Great Ally in Time
Ya know. Throughout my unemployment thus far, I wanted to try to use the time that I would’ve been at work toward writing instead. Obviously writing about the same things for eight straight hours sounds like a daunting task but I was determined to try my best. But it seems my best is three hours […]
ICYMI: Chapter One
Hello friends! I’m feeling a little drained today between the job search and Destiny 2, so I’m just gonna roll with an ICYMI post this afternoon. If you haven’t seen it yet or just haven’t had the time, here’s a link to a post from last week including the entire first chapter draft of my […]
