This anthology contains a variety of poems about different subjects such as reincarnation, change, and video games. A prominent theme is secrets, as two poems contain hidden poems within them and one is about secrets. The anthology seeks to accurately capture the author's emotions without being contrived. It is a deep journey into a mind, but the identity of whose mind is unknown. The anthology is dedicated to the author's mother and former teacher.

subjects, from reincarnation, to change, to
good video games. The most prominent
theme is secrets. Two poems have other

about secrets.

the author's emotions when it's not contrived

Onwards; The Limerick Collection Of Death.)
It is a deep journey into a mind, but no one
knows whose.

6. TAB LE OF CONTENTS ONWARDS!

7. As The Wind Blows Onwards
And they are replaced
As the wind blows onwards with anger in hangars
Things like curds and sherds with sadness and badness
and books and hooks with deepness and steepness
and mice and men, with sticks and stones
with broken bones
and henhouses and hen with mad people screaming
and signs saying when not people who are beaming
and rabbits and carrots z or loving and hugging
and sparrows and parrots just hating and bugging
And white ravens and black doves not laughing and crying
just lying and spying
And what comes from above. and sighing
And unicorns with the unihorns about how the world used to be:
And babies, even newborns, Better
And all the wonder God has made before
the wind
start to fade. started
blowing
onwards.

My fingers on the keys. I know that I'll be soon done.
And then I know I'm typing. And then this battle is won.
I know I feel uncertain,

I know that I can write this,
I need to learn perception .

15. AN ODE TO STUFF
Stuff is what makes me really matter.
A bit more stuff makes us a little bit fatter.
We try to lose stuff by not eating cake batter.
But it can't be done, because of Conservation of Matter.
Conservation of Matter is a universal law.
You could convert stuff into energy with your fat little claws.
But it could decimate a city in the opinion of moi,
So it's not something about which you should hem and haw.
So although stuff is what makes us fatter
I think it is what makes me matter.
And that is why I love stuff.

16. Limerick Collection of Doom
There once was a man from Kentucky
His life was incredibly sucky
Then it got worse
He went in a hearse
Because he was very unlucky.
One time this man sang a ballad
About how his skin was pallid
He forgot his inhaler
It became paler
And all this to an invalid.
The Kentuckian sang a ballad
About how he was an invalid
He soon fixed that
but one little gnat
Made him breathe while eating salad
There once was a man who tried four times
Each time he climbs and climbs
But when near his death
He met Mary beth
And he survived for ever. BACK

Annual Storytelling Project(unfinished), The

reading are The Harry Potter Series, The Alcatraz
vs. Series, Ender's Game, and Homestuck. The last
one is actually a webcomic. He also believes heavily
in the power of list poems. His favorite poem is If.
