from 1998-2000, i was a staffer of lynbrook's literary magazine, vertigo (now they have a lovely website). so i wrote poems then. i can't find some of my favorite writings anymore--i reformatted my hard drive before doing a completely thorough inspection of it. oh well. here are a few. keep in mind, though, that i wrote them 1998-2000. i was 15-17 years old. =)

sometimes i wrote... other stuff. i was so proud of this one piece where i dropped off capitalization, then punctuation, then grammar, spelling, etc... i liked it, but i can't even find an old copy of that issue in my house. but i do have this little gem. ha ha ha.
