heart. sound. ground.

prone to rumination, many of my poems start out as similar variations of an idea, feeling, or phrase that my mind obsesses over for days. they sit and stew as notes on my phone for longer than I’d like, but eventually they become something of resonance. 

just as the many before me, I’ve always been drawn to words - especially those that are lyrical and rhythmic. Maybe rhythmic poems are elementary, but rhythm is feeling to me. 

rhyme is the beat of the heart, the cadence of sound, and my feet on the ground. 

heart. sound. ground. is my first publication. thank you for supporting my vulnerability.
