Poetry

I write poems, though I'm actually rather bad at it, since I didn't spend any time reading or writing them growing up. I hated them from the moment I was born up until I went to college and stopped being so cringe. The foundation of that hatred was, quote—

"I just hate them. they're pretentious. and stupid." -littlestrid

Anyway, I got over myself and started writing poetry in early 2025. Since then, I kinda fell in love with poems, and now I'm studying the medium, submitting to contests, and otherwise having a so-called 'grand old time'.

I haven't figured out how I want to showcase my poetry on this page yet, so I've included five here as images to satiate your curiosity while I figure it out.

Finally, I talk about 'becoming the greatest author,' and that's true, that is my wonderful, ridiculous goal. But don't get it twisted! Most of my poems are quite bad (though some of them are so excellent that they reach all the way to middling quality).

I'll get better.
