Writing Workshop Project:

Autumn Jade:

Exuberant

Autumnal

Flower

Lover of:

Dogs,

Cheeseburgers with bacon from The Pharmacy,

The brilliant work of E.E. Cummings,

And

Tattoos.

Who Feels:

Out of place

Most of the time,

And too big for her body

All the

Rest

Of the

Time.

Who Needs:

Approval too much,

Second chances too often,

And her father. 

Who Gives:

Too much of herself to easily,

And her heart away

Too quickly.

Who Fears:

That writing will always only be her

“Hobby,”

That the bathroom scale will always be chained around

Her neck,

And that one day she’ll have to leave this magical city to move back

“Home.”

Who would like to see:

The Weeks in concert,

Zach Harrington alive again,

And her Mother learn to love herself.

Resident of:

Nashville Tennessee

With the oily haired,

Nose ring wearing

Leather-backed people,

But always

Native America

At heart,

Where the buffaloes

Forever roam free.

Monroe.
