Hello bubblers!
My name is Jess, and I live in beautiful Melbourne. I have been writing poetry as a personal hobby for the past decade, but have rarely shared my work publicly. I have also recently reconnected with my love for art. The talent on redbubble constantly inspires me, and I love being exposed to so many astounding artists and writers! I welcome any constructive feedback you may have.

The gentle folds of his chins shuddered, as his face contorted with pain. The haphazard cackles of my classmates bounced off the walls into the center of the classroom, and slowly ordered themselves i…
Three cement walls slowly close in, squeezing the thick, sour air. Small droplets hover in the air, tasting of dirt-wet fur. Sunlight slithers through the iron bars, its pointed yellow slits cuttin…
