“The Year” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox: Poetry Reading
For a long time, I tried making New Year’s resolutions. It was always some variation of the same goals at same point: I want to learn a new language; I want to lose weight; I want to do something creative; and I want to be more organized (the toughest hurdle for me). Every year, I …

2021: A Year in Review
2021 was a very strange year for me. While we were coming off of the isolation that the pandemic forced us into, I had a change of location for my job, and then got a job finally teaching. Sadly, I also had to deal with the death of my grandmother and one of my dogs. …
My First Semester Teaching
When I was in second grade, my teacher told my mom that I would make a great teacher. Ever since that moment, I latched on to the idea of being a teacher. In high school, I had the wonderful opportunity to work in the Education and Training Academy that my school had, and that fully …
I’m Back! (For Two Weeks)
Hello lovelies! I have been gone for a while due to me getting used to teaching, and boy is that still something I’m adjusting to. Fortunately, I have made it through my first semester of school! Let me just say that I am exhausted. We are out for two weeks, and then we’re back to …
The Shop (Watch)
I love shopping for gifts, but not when it’s for someone I don’t know. Why was I the one chosen to buy the gift for our new boss? If he hates it, they’ll just throw me under the bus. As I walk down the sidewalk mumbling to myself, I look up and happen to catch …
Freedom (Fan)

Endless Questions (Spirit)
I open the door to her room. All of her stuff is still there, but the cold is unnatural. She never liked the cold. We never talked about her dying because I didn’t want to face that inevitably. I know she had said once that she will be with me in spirit, but why can’t …
Fall in the Woods (Raven)
The beginning of fall brings changes throughout this wooded area. The leaves are changing colors, and the wind whips around my face just a bit more. As I stray from the path and walk between the trees, I hear a sound from above. I look up, and a raven stares back at me. It flies …
The Door (Knot)
Sweat beads on my forehead. My eye twitches ever so slightly. The knot in my stomach tightens. I’m afraid of what I will face behind that door. I begin to reach for the handle, when it starts rattling. What fear am I about to face?
The Summoning (Vessel)
Before I even opened my eyes, I felt the irritation run through my veins. Ugh! This is disgusting. This human vessel is in a deplorable shape. Why did I end up here? Who is the fool to summon me in this state? I crawl out of the bed that I found myself in, and I …
