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:)

    Dear Kristen - As an aside - Wish our 'Fickle' world would focus on what 'nature' has given us - rather than fighting over what it has not - J-bud

    Well now. Even in haiku-form, your ability, skill, art of capturing the beauty of nature, even when it is fleeting, is flawless. Well done on this, pal!
