Thank you! Apologies that I did not see this until now. I likewise enjoyed your poem, The Towels. Those first three lines are incredible. Your work--from what little I've had the pleasure of reading--is possessed of a wonderful restraint
I like this, but it needs MORE. Back to the pile with ye
This one needs to be twice as long. Will revise
Revised version of this piece. Reorganized the end to avoid some syntactical repetition. I think this is its final form
I'm really, really happy with this one
New poem. I really like the language here. I'm eh on the pacing, but I'm happy with it overall. I've felt powerless lately, with everything going on. Needed to channel that
Reposted with edits. This version is better.
Hot off the press. I am obsessed with moths but don't have nearly enough poems about them
Trying to decide if it's good enough to try and publish. The more I read it the less I like it, but that's also true of every poem I've ever written
Here's another new poem. I feel pretty good about the language. I think the sounds come together nicely, and I like how it ends. No clue what I'm going to do with it lol
New video game poem! This one is going to be the final piece of the collection I'm working on. I'm really, really proud of it
Revised version of this piece, reposted with edits
yay!!!!!! incredible amazing so happy for you :)

This is an older poem that won runner-up in @wwph.bsky.social 's 2023 (?) Pride Poetry contest. It'll be republished in their 100th edition as well! First poem that I was ever paid for :)
A short piece about looking back on growing up as a navy kid
Here's another prose poem. This one is about my relationship with substances
Another video game poem
This poem will is forthcoming in the 2025 DC Pride Poems project. It made me richer $75, lol
#AnimalWell was one of the strangest and most remarkable games I've ever played. Here's a poem about it
Here's a prose poem about the game #Grounded. Been playing it with a friend. Something about being tiny just tickles me in a wonderful way
3rd poem in the #ffxiv sequence. Hoping to get at least two more out of it!
2nd poem in the sequence of #ffxiv poems
This is the first poem in a sequence about my experiences in #ffxiv. It's a part of my undergraduate capstone project, which is a collection of videogame poetry
This is the poem I am currently the most proud of. I love being #trans in America 🥰😋😒
