    I have to go on a ski trip now, it's just lovely. I hate the snow just everything about it bothered me. It was cold and messy and I didn’t like it. My parents knew about my pure hatred for the snow and still I have to go. I tried to complainwww.onedoor.cc but I was silenced by my brother, Ryan. He was the one that came up with the idea so I’ll go thank him for that later. My mother said that it would be a great opportunity and I should be grateful.

    (Author's note: this piece is experimental. Enjoy it as a story-length poem.)No one loves Caeshin Blithe more than I do. “Sunrise to sunset, or suh they say.”“For forever, not just a day."From sunrise to sunset, my love will never dwindle. But in the darkness of night, That’s when it’s most brittle.And so I became Mrs. Caeshin Blithe.Enjoying hollow love and midnight’s alone.It’s not much of a life.If only that naive little girl had known.“Nice, eh? The oranges, the reds.”“Certainly starts the morning ri—” “—Reminds me uh'a hotel painting.”“So to you, our tradition is generic.”"Nuh, just...fle...AYpone door
