My Sincere Honesty

Well, this entry is going to shock Elli and Nicole since they will probably find this piece familiar, but believe it to have been written by a different person.  This was my actual first foray into poetry, from about two years ago.

Flying Free

This was written after I broke up with my college boyfriend of four and a half years, right after I came to teach in South Korea.  It's a poem, which is a little different for me.

I hope you enjoy it.

The Christmas Birth

I thought it fitting to offer up a Christmas piece on April Fool's Day.
It's another unusual piece.  I wrote this for Nicole back in Christmas 2010.  She wrote me a piece of a novel that she's now self-published.  I hope seeing this piece again does for her what it did for me: it reminds us just how much we've changed our lives for the better in the past two or so years.
Sure, there have been some bad downs during that time.  We both buried people we didn't want to lose, but we also met new, wonderful people that make every day of our lives better than the day before.
