Here is a collection of poems, rhymes, and messages to inspire or relate to. My pen name is Vevna Forrow, though my real name is Jasveen (Jazz) Marie Kaur (Core) which is quite common outside of the USA. I am a self-taught cartoonist, IT Professional, nerd, and writer. My poems spawn from my heart, feelings, and experiences over the course of 26 years. I wrote most of these poems within a few hours on the fly, but nearly each one has been sitting in my mind unshared for such a long time, so here we are...I hope you enjoy the read. Some of them are humorous whereas others are dark.

My inspiration comes from my love of the 1999 film October Sky. I have also been inspired by Shel Silverstein, Carl Hiaasen, Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and Emily Dickinson. I often enjoy rewatching the 2011 Big Year film and Birdman of Alcatraz (1962) as well. I do love to rhyme and I truly thank you for your time!
