I waged war
And you fought back
The tongue could not be satiated
Words dropped
Small, uncontrollable, explosive
The tongue could not be tamed
You became Medusa
I became the stone

About Me
- Sherry
- When I was 14, I wrote my first poem, a treacly one about friendship. In high school, I began writing poems after reading Jewel's "A Night in Armor," a book that allowed me to fall in love with free verse. Once I entered college, A.R. Ammons's "Glare," an opus using beautiful, winding language, completely changed the way I thought about poetry. And I've played with words ever since.
