About myself
I have been writing for around twelve years now. I really got into it my senior year of high school when I had one amazing English teacher. I already loved English, but Mrs. Barkus just made it even more amazing and I owe her the world for being the first person to truly admire my writing and art, and for being the first person who told me I would go far in life for it.
I choose not to write in a specific genre or style. But, I do have my own style of writing. I think everyone does. It's what makes each individual poet an artist in their own right no matter the experience of the poet. I like to play around with different techniques, make up my own styles, play with formatting and find the oddest way to express some of the simplest things. I think it's what keeps me most interested in poetry.
Most of my works are on the darker side, though I dabble in "inspirational" and "nature", and greatly enjoy those genres as well. However, I love the images that one can conjure with a good dark write and the chill that one can give you. Not to mention the mood that they convey. If I have manipulated a reader's emotion throughout my words then I have done my job, and if a reader has left feeling inspired or enlightened by my words then I am greatly honored to have made an impact in their day or life or whatever the case may be.
My biggest passion in life, however, is visual art. I love drawing and have been since I was 3. I still have photos of me posing with my first ever drawings and I must say I looked like a very proud three year old lol. Beyond poetry my art is truly my life thread and I don't know what I would do if I could never draw again. Probably gnaw down the ends of my fingers to draw in blood... ok not that morbid... but you get the picture 
I'm generally a kind-hearted person and prefer to give people a fighting chance, but time and again society has proven that humans, as a species, are dumb. Individual people can overcome this... and those are the people I like. My kindness can change instantly if I feel I, or someone I care for, is being attacked unduly... then I'm really not so nice.
Uh... that was long...

Cherished Poems Written for Me by My Dearest Friends!
Sinister Serenade
By: Avariella
Sultry vixen of darknesses pure delight,
Indulges in flesh of fresh fangled fright.
Never underestimate her powers within,
It will be you who's her new victim of sin.
Sweet black lips match a cold dark bitch,
Take care you all, she'll kill you in a cinch.
Everyone ripped, masticated bloody gore,
Remnants burned for calling her a whore.
Sexy dark seductress lures in her new prey,
Every single one will know it's time to pay.
Right when you think you're in for some fun,
Eyes turn red, yeah, your ass had better run.
No where can you go, ha, luck's run out bro,
Dance with devilish daughter for a good show,
End with your death by her, you were too slow.
Concrete Angel By: Elyse A.
Come one, come all,
On this night of terror
No fiend will hide...
Come one come all
Refrain not your blood lust
Enter this world of horror
Tonight leave your fears behind
Enjoy a night truly one of a kind
Another place for horror to nest
Not a place for the weak hearted
Go free little monsters of the night
Electrify, in their hearts plant fright
Long for the darkness dwellers of the night!
Downy Wings of Our Concrete Angel By: Ellie Le Jeune
She is the Queen of poetic form.
The quintessential sister divine.
Easy to love her tender sweet heart.
Poetess, her pen filled with golden ink.
Her kindness radiates these pages.
Always there to help us understand.
Never underestimate her wit and charm.
Intelligent, a brain that boggles the mind.
Exquisite woman. friend, and poet bar non.

The most important people in my life!
TheGothicScorpion: My ever so wonderful husband. Funny, charming, laid back and always making me feel special. There's no one else I'd rather be with. We have so much in common it's scary. Even scarier when he voices what I'm thinking... as I'm thinking it. He's my support and my strength, he lets me cry on his shoulder whenever I need to, he's always there to listen to me, and I know he sees me for me and loves me for who I am and I know it's 100% true. I love him and that will never change. Oh yeah... and I can beat him at air hockey!

BloodRedBlueEyes: lil sister #1. The insanity that keeps my life sane. She always listens (or at least pretends to) to my work stories. She's one of the few people who's seen me cry, one of the few people who can bring me out of a rotten mood and one of the many people who can put me in a bad one. She's known me her whole life... poor dear... She slaps me back to reality if I fall into a self-pity trip. there's no way you can ever be replaced you're too important and loved. I love you Katie!
~~~~
UnicornSparkleVomit: lil sister #2. She's important too! My baby sis, the spoiled princess of the family... still. She's cute and she knows it, and THAT'S the problem! But she has her moments when she can keep me sane! Plus she's all emo... poor little thing... looks so pathetic. LMAO @ Annie!!! And may her doggy Crystal Chandelier rest in peace.

The Jabberwocky By: Lewis Carroll
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
all mimsy were the borogroves,
and the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the jubjub bird, and shun
the frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
long time the manxome foe he souht--
so rested he by Tumtum tree,
and stood awhile in thought.
And, ad in uffish thought he stood,
the Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
and burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
the vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
he went galumping back.
"And has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brilig and the slithy toves
did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
all mimsy were the borogoves,
and the mome raths outgabe.

Hymn To The Night By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I heard the trailing garments of the Night
Sweep through her marble halls!
I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light
From the celestial walls!
I felt her presence, by its spell of might,
Stoop o'er me from above;
The calm, majestic presence of the Night,
As of the one I love.
I heard the sounds of sorrow and delight,
The manifold, soft chimes,
That fill the haunted chambers of the Night
Like some old poet's rhymes.
From the cool cisterns of the midnight air
My spirit drank repose;
The fountain of perpetual peace flows there,--
From those deep cisterns flows.
O holy Night! from thee I learn to bear
What man has borne before!
Thou layest thy finger on the lips of Care,
And they complain no more.
Peace! Peace! Orestes-like I breathe this prayer!
Descend with broad-winged flight,
The welcome, the thrice-prayed for, the most fair,
The best-beloved Night!
~~~~~~
THE HIPPOPOTAMUS By: T.S. Eliot
The broad-backed hippopotamus
Rests on his belly in the mud;
Although he seems so firm to us
He is merely flesh and blood.
Flesh-and-blood is weak and frail,
Susceptible to nervous shock;
While the True Church can never fail
For it is based upon a rock.
The hippo's feeble steps may err
In compassing material ends,
While the True Church need never stir
To gather in its dividends.
The 'potamus can never reach
The mango on the mango-tree;
But fruits of pomegranate and peach
Refresh the Church from over sea.
At mating time the hippo's voice
Betrays inflections hoarse and odd,
But every week we hear rejoice
The Church, at being one with God.
The hippopotamus's day
Is passed in sleep; at night he hunts;
God works in a mysterious way--
The Church can sleep and feed at once.
I saw the 'potamus take wing
Ascending from the damp savannas,
And quiring angels round him sing
The praise of God, in loud hosannas.
Blood of the Lamb shall wash him clean
And him shall heavenly arms enfold,
Among the saints he shall be seen
Performing on a harp of gold.
He shall be washed as white as snow,
By all the martyr'd virgins kist,
While the True Church remains below
Wrapt in the old miasmal mist.
