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.

My Ego Drives a Porsche

The door clicks open. Hop in! Melt into those plush seats. Real leather! / I am soft to touch. Delectable. Feel that automatic transmission. Seamless! / I am smooth-tongued to suit all occasions…

My Skin (revised version)

This is my coin-operated clothing removal service. / The door is ajar, come on in! / But you wont get far beyond / My skin. My skin, my clotted-cream. / Snowy-soft. Dulce de leche. / Looks so easy …
