I saw this fun challenge for the month of October, and I’ve decided to take part in the hopes of sparking my creativity again. I’ve got a couple different writing prompt books I’ve barely broken into, so I’m going to put them to good use and write 31 days of different creative writing prompts! All my daily posts will be housed on this page. Wish me luck…
Welcome to my writing portfolio. Thanks for taking the time to check it out! I decided that it’s time to share some of my writing projects with the world. So, this website was born. I welcome any constructive feedback and hope you enjoy!

This poem was originally published in the 2014 edition of Lyrical Iowa. This version has been updated and re-edited post-publication.
Waking, we find that
in this world filled with
confusion, destruction
and melancholy,
we’re all a little lost
in the sea of people
trying to find themselves,
hoping that we might
find someone else
in the process
beneath the burning words
that largely remain unspoken.
And our bodies may remain
a little worn,
and our hearts sometimes remain
a little torn,
but we’re determined
not to leave
a single stone unturned
until we find what we’re
so desperately searching for:
that place where we might
unearth the way in which things
that so easily fall apart
could fit together
beautifully.
