Bio

I am a college student currently studying religion and creative writing with a focus in poetry. Music has always been one of my passions though I do not feel I am a strong musician. I would like to take this opportunity to improve my skills as a writer, and work with other musicians, simply for the love of creating and expression.

Melani! I love 11 and 12! 'Volumes' is slightly unlike the your other poems in style and content but I find it beautiful and I can image the scene. I also love that the activity has a regular time that it occurs... so many nice little details in there.

"Worth Notice" is also just amazing. The heart/mind duality and then the tie together at the end! If I told you which lines I liked... I'd have to copy and paste the whole poem.

You should tag your poems! More people would be able to find them when they are scanning/searching... such as: Poetry, God, Love, FAWMling, cupcakes, etc Also you could check the "Big Topic" challenge for a lot of your poems.

I am so glad that you decided to join us here! I know that if nothing else... Nathan, Emily, Lee and I love reading all your new poems.

Hi Melani! I send a surprise to your facebook inbox... it isn't a cupcake with sprinkles... or maybe it is.

Cool. Ummm, I think Ill choose one of your poems and add some music and stuff if thats cool and make it a collaboration. I just have to find out when I get my friends microphone so I can record it.

Welcome to FAWM 2012 and FAWM in general. I'm G Slade, resident hip hop/rap/synth pop guy. I'll be doing more listening than writing this month, so I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to contribute this year.

Good luck in Feb!
