surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
I Didn't Say That
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" That rhyme is often used as a retort to insults or taunts, suggesting that the speaker is not affected by the hurtful words. However, the sentiment expressed in the rhyme is often debated, as many recognize that words can indeed cause significant emotional pain and distress.

My Storm Maiden
Lightning flashed as the hailstones smashed and torrents splashed against the rattling windows and doors. Startled, I screamed, dropping my favorite crystal teacup, shards of clear Czech crystal skittering across the barren wood floor of white pine, well-worn. As I kneeled to retrieve the pieces of wet glass, the storm raged on, and the window above me lit with a double flash. Suddenly, I saw her, the Maiden of Storms; I knew my love had finally returned.
