Ladies and gentlemen:

for the longest time, i've been far away from this community, rarely posting anything and leaving messages and comments even less; i have not felt very creative the last couple of years. in the last few months, my life has gone far enough out of whack that i've had the necessity to start writing again on a semi-regular basis.

I've started by reorganizing my library- created a separate folder, and then made more exclusive my main library (25 poems + New Additions), and you can expect to see an uptick in my production here. i'm finally feeling creative enough to get back on the horse. so, hello again.

my favorite word is "Cigarette". Everything about it, the way its consonants sound, the things it stands for, the syllabic pattern, it's just so versatile.
my favorite topic is rain; i can wind it into a metaphor for anything. it's so comforting;

and these are about the only two things that i've written about for as long as i can remember; i'll try branching out.

i've leaned heavily on ridiculous amounts of imagery in the past; basically as a shield from writing anything more emotional (or more aptly, to hide anything emotional within)- i'm starting to fear less what i feel, and i'm starting to incorporate that in my writing.

also, i've taken to fully immersing myself in hip-hop and picking up the rhythms and feel of the beat; you may notice that my more recent stuff is far more aware of meter than the older things. expect this trend to continue.

this is all i've got for now; happy reading, and i hope to reconnect with all of you here.
