A poetry series I wrote a few years ago, some of the most traditionally poetic and beautiful work I have ever written, it began with a poem called "Along with the Fall" and I loved it so much I made one for each season. It uses an original structure.

A poem I wrote a few years ago about a serial killer and his apprentice. I find this one fun to read because of the rhythm.

A poem I wrote last fall for the girl I love for Christmas about the way she nods and gently bops her head to music; it's mesmerizing.
