Love in all its forms‚ from blessed matrimony to crippling betrayal‚ has been the poet’s canvas‚ marred by violent‚ disconnected‚ bold strokes‚ with a lot of detail but no form.

My uncle introduced me to fishing at an early age. My love for fishing began during our first trip together. I became hooked on the sport the moment I threw my line in the water and caught my first fish. In fact‚ that first fish‚ as little as it was‚ was mounted and hangs on my bedroom wall. Whether we caught fish or not‚ every trip was filled with new experiences and increased my love for the outdoors. An added bonus‚ although not realized until I matured‚ was the increasing bond between myself

I turned to the last page of my most recent read. I could feel the soft paper as I traced the words that would end the novel. I breathed in deeply smelling the musty‚ sharp scent of the ink and paper of the book. Sighing the last words on the paper‚ I finished and closed the book. Setting aside the book‚ I closed my eyes and simply sat there letting the ending to the story sink in. I didn’t always love reading. As a child I found reading to be very boring. I felt as if there were more important

My First Job Experience For teenagers‚ having a job is a way of making money‚ just a way of having extra cash for movies or clothes. It makes one feel independent. Personally‚ it made me feel sort of like an adult. It taught me how to be responsible and to handle my finances. I had to learn how to take public transportation‚ how to interact with my coworkers‚ work with different types of people‚ and also learn punctuality. In a way‚ it was almost like I had learned real life skills in under 3 months
