Hey I'm Jacob and I like to read and write. I specialize in writing terrible poetry and short stories involving murder. Armed with my imagination and the Internet, I'll write my way through life. Please read what I write and feel free to give me feedback.

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering; these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love; these are what we stay alive for."
