It has been a long while since I last sat down to write a good poem or story; most of these were written years ago while I was in middle school. A little dust can't hurt it though, right? Instead of letting it continue to build up, I blew the dust off the cover and have opened my book to you. For my new readers, I feel you should know that many of these poems and tales are purely the result of my vivid imagination. Although the actions and settings may be fictitous, all literary works within my book were born from my emotions, thoughts, and perceptions, including things I have been privy to and experienced first hand. Please keep this in mind as you fumble through the pages of my aging collection of works. Now sit back, relax, and let your imagination do the talking.
