Water
and oil
really do mix
but
only if
shaken hard enough
molecules
break apart
then combine anew.
You
and I
are like that
singly
we exist
together we explode.

Who
- Emily
- Columbus, OH, United States
- I've always been an eclectic blogger, so in 2012 I've decided to embrace it. Food, poetry, fashion, beer, urban living, education, cats, those and many other topics are all fair game. If you're a new reader, feel free to poke around the old posts, but you might just want to start new with me in 2012.

Why
because I read, because I love books, because some of my earliest memories are of fiction rather than reality.
because I like the challenge, the flow of words, the rhythm and the inevitability and the surprise of writing a poem.
Why do you write?

Amazing. I really liked the last bit: "singly
we exist
together we explode"
