I write poems the best when the words ring true with emotion, so when I had an emotionally traumatizing experience recently, I decided to write a poem about it. Traumatizing may or may not be too strong of a word, but being dramatic is the tell-tale sign of a budding poet, which I consider myself to be.

It slinks
With blackest ink
Over lands of snow.
~0oOo0~
It stains
With jagged grains
And never slows.
~0oOo0~
It spreads
The darkest dread
That only grows.
~0oOo0~
It creeps
From the deeps
Of blackest woe.
~0oOo0~
…
…
~0oOo0~
It’s a bug
In my tub
And it has to go.
