I'm a writer. I've done several types of writing, including essays and short stories, but my favorite type of writing is poetry. There have been times in my life that I was in a dark place and it was my best outlet. These are the poems that came from that dark place. I hope you enjoy.

Grandma

You sent me home
After spoiling me rotten
You’ve passed on
But you’ll never be forgotten.

Homemade cookies
Candy and food
They always brought me up
No matter what my mood.

I look in the mirror
And see you there
But I could never be like you
With any small prayer.

I’ll love you forever
And miss you ‘til we meet again.

~This poem is dedicated to my Grandma Hanes, who died when I was 8. Her birthday is July 26th.
