Hello all, it’s fall! Don’t you feel the chill in the breeze? Don’t you hear the leaves rustling and crunching under your feet? Don’t you see the vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows that have replaced all the greens? Don’t you smell the spicy aromas wafting from the kitchen, beckoning your tastebuds forward? To celebrate the… Continue reading Looking back on October! Or is it… Inktober?
My Friend: A Poem
Photo by it's me neosiam As the ink bleeds out of this pen tonight, I'm wondering if it was worth the fight, These scars on my flesh, these scars on my heart, What did I do to drive us apart?

Crying
Photo by Free-Photos A faintest breeze tickled my cheek, I brushed it away, feeling meek. My heart was heavy, weighing down, On my face was a miserable frown.

True Colors by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock Review
Ages 7+ True Colors was a gorgeous, emotional, and wordfully colorful story about a young girl finding the true colors of her life. I honestly didn’t like the main character at first because I felt she didn’t appreciate the love everyone in her quaint little Vermont town gave to her, but then I saw that… Continue reading True Colors by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock Review
