      look here.
      my hands are golden spirals carrying
      color across the sky canvas.
      i’m painting my dreams in yellow,
      packing them into galaxy-black cellophane
      and attaching them onto
      lanterns of daylight.
      my mother the Sun sends them up 
      into the comets’ hidey-holes
      as gifts to the solar system
      on the coldest days of the year.

      from 2014 RYPA

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I like to write poetry because I get to figure myself out line by line. Coming up with clear images to accurately capture the feel of the poem is like fishing in a lake of my own experiences and emotions.”
