I’m not an active writer although I have been trying to chronicle my dreams. Perhaps with the inspiration from using this site that will change.

So I do write some journalism pieces for independent media but my writing style could use some improvement as I don’t quite have the hang of it.

I like to share my thoughts through prose and hopefully captivate peoples imaginations. Most of the writing I’ve done thus far has been very stream of consciousness and even I don’t exactly understand what is supposed to be happening.

Thanks for any feedback and I like to share my thoughts with others.

Short Story / Into the Idea Prison
Version 1

Toby was never quite sure why he was locked up, a lot of the time he wasn't even aware that he was locked up they kept the water so drugged with who knows what kind of pollutants and mind laxitives, but every once in a while they would have a brush with the outside world that would remind him him of his predicament. The life was something that could be destructive at pest and repetitive at worst, so many times they same thing happening over and over again. This was a new world prison, not th...

Poetry / live and die
A loose poem that has some interesting analysis of the ever present wandering moment and samsara or whatever the buddhist critique of typical life is. Obviously since this poem was just scrawled down it wasn't really edited to have perfect grammar and sane is the usual spelling not sain, but if it were formatted in a more readable manner it would probably be easier to diget. It's interesting and the transition from dreams and denial to lust was unexpected but understandable, but also seemed k...
Haiku/Senryu / New Shoes
I guess this doesn't really do much for me. I can almost feel the partying ringing, people coming over and a crowd gathering, but like a phone sounds very plastic and gives the poem a closing that really doesn't bring much emotion.

Poetry / Seize The Night
This poem is fun and reminded me of the summer I tried to become nocturnal, it didn't work out too well trying to sleep in a attic in the summer during the day. It makes me smile though, it seems silly, I hope that is the intent. As far as improving it, some of the rhyming seems a little clique and there is a lot of repetition but I think for the tone of the poem it works.
Poetry / Upside Down
This poem made me smile and chuckle a bit. It's very simple and to the point. I think the punctuation of the last two lines could be improved by dividing and along with it, the tear filled cup.
