Frank
I love Amy Winehouse’s music, I own both of her albums Frank and Back to Black, though I fear that unless she begins to take care of herself, they may be the last albums she records. I find myself writing easy to her sultry edgy sound as if she turns the keystrokes into silver liquid spilling [...]

the undergrad
Once again I am in perhaps my real home here at Purdue, the undergrad library. I shall admit I will miss this haven of mine more than my apartment, perhaps because the undergrad and I have grown close especially over this past semester. I am typing my final paper of the year, and in a [...]

Letting go
I am sitting in the undergrad, and I going through the painful process of letting go. It is that time of the semester that my portfolio is due, and it is hard to see my poems, hours I have spent deciding wether to indent a line or not, wether to change the form or how [...]

Ok while I resent the labal nerd, and prefer the title of sophisticated intellectual, you can look at me know in the library missing The Hills, and call me either, both fit at the moment. I mean who still has the official MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, all silver and glossy also known [...]

The Night Dances1962
A smile fell in the grass.
Irretrievable!
And how will your night dances
Lose themselves. In mathematics?
Such pure leaps and spirals –
Surely they travel
The world forever, I shall not entirely
Sit emptied of beauties, the gift
Of your small breath, the drenched grass
Smell of your sleeps, lilies, lilies.
Their [...]

a poem for my eng 407 class
Grownup Dress-up
An image reflects
A tilted head,
Pouty lips-stained crimson,
Hair sleekly falls unlike the jaunty pony tail
Grey velveteen hangs slightly askew,
A blue silk sash cinches the waist.
The neck is cut deep into the collarbone,
Broken once climbing into her tree house
Fourteen years ago.
Now plastic heels with glitter and feather boas
Have been replaced-
Purple satin pumps encase the manicured toes.
She [...]

now i lay me down to study
Today was horrific, my schedule which is already ridiculous on tuesdays, was further abused with the placement of a math test at 6:30 in the evening. I was up till 2:30 am yesterday and again tonight the clock is ticking away in unmerciful diligence. If I had more energy I would cry. It is on [...]

coffee shop
I am so sick of studying and even though studying in coffee shops all over Purdue and Lafayette redeems it a little the idea of studying in a coffee shop is much more romantic than when you realize it is pitch black outside and you still have a ton of work [...]

I was trying to focus, really I was, sitting in Starbucks with my laptop, manilia folders and books surrounding me in a intimidating sea of print, doodles, pink ink tattoing the margins and highlighter streaking across the page. I heard this song come on and I loved it. Actually it reminded [...]
