About the Creator

Kristen Balyeat

Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night—I’m humbly one of the vessels they use to come to life.

Also, i love you:)

    Hey dudette! Wonderful sky Haiku and very angelic. I had to look up auris, as that didn’t ring a bell (no pun intended). Sorry I’m so behind in your work. I hope you are well and happy. I was off here for a few weeks, back the last one. Peace out Kristen!! ☺️

  • This was so magnificently magical. Loved your Haiku!

    So so beautiful and profound. Is that the universe singing to us as we hold the shell to our ear?
