Inspiration.

My entire writing inspiration came from so many different people and characters. Probably the first that comes to my mind is Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes. I know, weird, but... Bill Watterson talks about a lot of serious and intresting topics that got me thinking about half the stuff I actually am intrested in. The main inspiration was from a haiku that Calvin wrote about Hobbes:

Twitching tufted tail,
A toasted, tawny tummy:
A tired tiger.

I really liked the haiku and was thinking of haikus I could write and... poetry! I started writing because of a comic strip. Yup.

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
