This is a poem I started a few weeks ago and finished today. It's about that feeling where you don't necessarily want something, but you want to know that you could have it should you desire it, and how things are easy to lose and difficult to find.

This is one of the shortest poems that I've ever written, but I didn't think anything else needed to be said for it to be complete.
Waltz of the Winter Wolves
This is a poem that I started a few weeks ago as I was driving home from work in the middle of the day. There is a large lake next to the highway and it was frozen over and covered in snow and I saw two gray wolves running around together on the ice and thought it was oddly beautiful.
Stingray: Session I
This is a poem that I wrote in the tattoo parlor as I waited anxiously right before getting my first tattoo yesterday. It is about half done, in three weeks I will get the other elements and color added, and I will try to write a second poem before that. The poem is about how getting a tattoo along with losing weight is a fresh start and a new me, and references an older poem I wrote "Centerpiece", contradicting how I used to feel since now I have confidence and am ready to be put on display, so to speak.
On Seagull’s Wings
This is a poem I wrote for my dad since today is his birthday. He lost his brother to suicide many years ago, and plans on getting a tattoo of a seagull to commemorate his brother's free spirit.
Cold Rain
This is a poem that I wrote the other night. I saw someone post a song that they wrote called Cold Rain about their weight loss, and it encouraged me to finally take crucial steps for my own and is a message to myself that, though it will be a difficult road, I will be there for me.
Namesake
This is a poem that I just wrote about my maternal grandfather, after whom I was named.
