5 Signs You’re Falling In Love With A Hopeless Romantic
Falling head-over-heels in love with that special someone can be a very euphoric experience and also entices the mind into romanticism. Having strong romantic feelings when a significant lover comes along can spark friction in a relationship but how does one know they are falling in love with someone who dreams of a fantastical love, a romanticist dream beyond the fishbowl that can be called life?

Sahirah's Strengthening
A rush of air flowed through the room and a low whisper seemed to come in with it, "Are you always this loud?" came her low tone, arms suddenly risen with chill bumps. To the onlooker, such things would appear as if they came in with the draft, but the truth was electric sensations flowed through her body all because of the static that seemed to linger within the air.

Color of Sunshine
I could choose one color, but none of them describe you. You’re a burning rainbow with no color rule. You’re far too complex, beautiful and abstract. I couldn’t simply choose orange because nothing rhymes with that. Yet I see within your soul what burns and dances like a flame. Yellow shines because you are fierce as the light.. wild yet tame. As a Phoenix rises above the ashes with a fiery burning red. The color leads me to your heart it is pure as gold piercing through my head. A bright white blinds me as you sparkle different angles. As a diamond you shine bright like that of an angel.

'Those Winter Sundays': the haunting of remorse
‘Those Winter Sundays’ was written by the poet Robert Hayden and tells the story of his father. It tells us about how, even on his days off, his father would wake up early before the sun and go out to work to chop wood in what he dubbed the “blueblack cold” in trying to keep the house warm. To keep the fire going, blazing and winter at bay. How Hayden’s fathers hands would ache from the non-stop labor to allow Hayden to sleep in for a few extra minutes, so he did not have to be awake in the cold. To break down this poem down like Hayden’s fathers broke down wood one swing at a time

Making it Up...
I pretty much knew all my life that I would be a writer. I had my first nationally published poem when I was 14 years old in 1974. Trust me, it was awful, but someone saw something in it. I still have the book around here somewhere… It makes me cringe to read it now. It is out there, but I will never post it publicly.
