• TWO SENTENCES IS ALL IT TAKES • Words are power-it can be anything and everything we make it to be. #1 in Poetry (10/22/16)

im·ag·i·na·tion /iˌmajəˈnāSH(ə)n/ noun the faculty or action of forming new ideas, or images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses. Otherwise known as "Musings of the Balladeer." This is an anthology of poetry I've written over the course of what is now many years of my life; beginning in my freshman year of high school, back when I was relatively new to poetry, and continuing even to this day. What began as a school assignment expanded into a practice of emotional expression - exploring my thoughts of the world, my feelings toward those around me, and continually redefining "the self." I do not plan on returning to edit anything I've posted (to an insane degree, anyways); keeping it captured like time in a bottle. They are a glimpse into a different time - a different world - and I wouldn't have it any other way. Feel free to interpret as you will.

and you are so exquisite that you wilt daises with your smile (#832 in poetry 04/24/18)
