hey everybody!  I’ve been offline for a long time.  I’m going to start writing regularly now, and I hope that I can get some good comments.  So here’s something new.  The next few posts are going to be poetry, which is completley unlike me.  I’m not a poetry person, because it always ends up being really dark.  But during my Intro to Creative Writing class, we wrote some and I discovered that I don’t hate it.  So let’s see what you think.  Are you ready?
