# About me

I've been writing poetry since I was 12 years old and dancing since I was 5. I've always felt a close connection to the arts and other artists. I married my beautiful wife 5 years ago this past May and we happily live in Blacksburg, Virginia. I'm very interested in CONSTRUCTIVE criticism of my work and of course general praise is always accepted! :-P Anyhoo thanks for checking out my stoof.

I am? It's my first time doing poetry. Lately I've been down in the dumps so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Thank you for the compliment!~

Achija In reply to Jedi-Leia [2011-09-17 06:45:40 +0000 UTC]

I know it's odd but much of the best poetry comes from that place.... It's an emotional release and you'll find it's very addicting if you keep it up ^_^

It's beautiful, seriously I like dark poetry with beautiful imagery

Nullibicity In reply to Achija [2011-09-17 05:56:24 +0000 UTC]

Why thank you! I think I've got down the dark part as I can really only write that form unless greatly inspired to do otherwise, but I think the imagery is still something I have to work towards. But I am very grateful for the compliments
