The Hawk
Today, I was cruising along on my way to get my post-work Starbies (a venti iced cocoa cloud macchiato, if you wondered) when a flutter of feathers caught my eye. I directed my gaze just in time to watch a majestic hawk swoop down from atop a telephone pole and snatch a poor, furry creature … Continue reading The Hawk
This Child
So, I know I do this a lot, but I just stumbled upon an old poetry assignment from high school... based upon the first Walt Whitman poem I ever read. I thought it was lost, but it was on an old flash-drive I recently dug up. Considering the huge effect that Walt Whitman's poems have … Continue reading This Child
Just a Moment…
This week, landscapers came to do some yard work at our house. So, being the occasionally nice human being that I am, I figured I would park my car in the street so they could pull into the driveway, which would hopefully make it easier for them to get their work done. The issue is, … Continue reading Just a Moment…
Fly
Another addition for Olde Poetry Monday, this one circa 2009. Please enjoy. I don't get why people tell me, "never change." If I stayed the same, my biggest dream would still be to sprout wings and fly away. It's cute when you're five, but I don't think they have a major for that in … Continue reading Fly

I had something mentally and emotionally taxing happen to me in the January of my last year of college. When it happened, I was wearing … Continue reading Sentimental
Unusual Skills
You can know someone for decades, and still be surprised when they throw out seemingly random facts about themselves. Obscure little tidbits that don't quite make it into "About Me" sections and convos because there is little opportunity to slide them in organically without sounding like you're bragging. Well, I'm definitely not rife with such … Continue reading Unusual Skills
In Disguise
I recently left my old gym in favor of a new one, and have been making an effort to eat better. I'm in decent shape, but would like to lose a couple of pounds and improve my strength. All about that self improvement, folks. And then, as I was hitting my stride, I got struck … Continue reading In Disguise
Recharge
The past couple of weeks have been an odd combination of relaxing and wild - hence the total lack of blog posts last week. But it has also been a much-needed breather. At the end of last month, my best friend and I drove down to Williamsburg, Virginia to visit another friend who moved there … Continue reading Recharge
Birthdays
Birthdays... everyone's got one, but how a person feels about their birthday can vary. My birthday was yesterday. As someone who is not 100% comfortable with the idea of getting older - who accepts it as an inevitability, but doesn't look forward to it - turning 27 isn't much cause for celebration. On Saturday, I … Continue reading Birthdays
