Poetry: You Can Be Anyone / The Wedding Dress

That is right. I flipping went and wrote some poetry! It was definitely the module on my Creative Writing MA that I was the most nervous for, but, I've actually enjoyed it.

Flashes of Love

’98…99…100’. Her eyes flew open, ‘ready or not, here I come!’ The young girl rose quickly from her crouched position beneath the large apple tree and ran down the hill into the wood. It was midsummer and the warm, humid air was tinged ever so slightly by the dusty smell of corn being harvested nearby. … Continue reading Flashes of Love →
