hey (:

I’m a tenth-grade drummer and writer living in Brooklyn, NY, and experimenting with poetry. I mainly write free verse, city poetry, dabbling in form (tanka and sestina are my playthings)….A beginner! but hoping to learn. I’m really strong-willed, narcissistic, opinionated, and sometimes overly emotionally detached. (but I’m also very smart and creative and happy and a good friend). so, now you know me as well as I do.

I hate caps. I almost always hate exclamation points. I’m ok with commas and semicolons and I adore parentheses. Dashes are a distant acquaintance. Rhyme and meter are long lost friends. A veces, español es mi amigo tambien. I think texting lingo is the innovative forefront of the English language. I think religion is mankind’s greatest vice, and art our greatest achievement. I go to Stuyvesant High School, which means I’m supposed to think I’m better than you.
(I try not to).
Any other worthless opinions?
Oh yeah. I’m an anarcho-socialist ignostic semi-vegetarian.
anyways.
music anyone?
