Hello again! After about a week off following a trip to Brazil, I’m thrilled to be back to creating. I will very soon be posting a discussion in great length about my insane experience at Carnaval. However, as for my first new project since returning, below is a Shadorma poem I wrote. This Spanish-style poem follows a 3/5/3/3/7/5 meter, which made it an interesting puzzle to write.

Despite the importance of his family’s name in the city though, his childhood was not pleasant. Along with his

There was a divider line. Some point in time. But I wasn’t aware of it then. Am I even aware of it now? The day and the hour and minute everything changed? It was so swift, Precise, Intentional. Magnificent. It brought me here now, you know. And I wouldn’t otherwise be. Yet, here I stand so I ponder and question it: When had the mark mended me? Because I know the what and the why
