We, recently, adopted two cats: Phoenix and Miko. They are 13 and 12, respectively. We already had one, Mia, who is 13, but wanted another cat or two that would spend time in our laps. Mia has hip problems and is overweight, so she is unable to jump up much.

How does it feel to be 39? lol

While it is true, I am a novice poet; it is my biased belief that I have ideas to share with the world. My work aims to draw attention to the status quo and by extension, hopefully disrupt it. I may discuss controversial subjects although mostly under the guise of an elaborate metaphor. Poetry is, at its roots, subjective. The reader can extract their own emotions and meaning from a poem.

After writing the invisible vagabond my health has heedlessly hurtled itself within a spiratic spiral and tomorrow I will be going to vcu where they will drill another hole in my skull and if it shows signs of overdraining then I will have brain surgery. Most likely on Wednesday.
I’ve been trying to write but it’s hard to think when all your thoughts are clustered into ambiguity.
I dedicate my life to my writing .

Part 2: Using Digital Proofreading Tools in Poetry Writing

“Every day, in private conversations, letters to editors, journal articles, and advice columns, people complain about grammar. They love to hate the bad grammar of others. These are the grammar ranters, and they claim to be distressed or confused by the tiniest of mistakes…

 

Part 1: Disclaimer and Preface

My perspective on grammar and mechanics (and writing in general) has changed significantly since last I was here. I’ve learned a lot over the past several years.

From studying linguistics, I have learned about what linguists call descriptive and prescriptive approaches to language use. The prescriptive perspective is what most of us are likely familiar with from learning grammar in school. However, most folks outside of the field of linguistics are likely unfamiliar with the descriptive perspective.
