Ode to my notebook
To the little leather-bound book that I keep on my nightstand, You serve me well, By keeping my secrets tucked safely in your pages.

Why I enjoy writing Ekphrastic Poetry
When I started writing poetry as a child, I used it as a medium to express my feelings. The themes I wrote about were just as limited as the exposure I had to the world. I kept a diary for such poems, and I still return to those pages realising the naivety and innocence of my perspective. I drew inspiration from pop songs and poetry that was part of my school curriculum for vocabulary or phrases that are repeated in my early drafts. One thing was for sure, I enjoyed writing and nothing could stop me from pursuing to hone the craft.

In shadows cast by humble means, A family's love was rich, unseen, Through hardships faced and battles won, Their sacrifice, a rising sun.

Ode to Headphones
In a world that buzzes, hums, and shouts, Where clamor reigns and noise sprouts, You offer refuge, a serene embrace, Transcending time, transcending space.

Ode to a Remote Control
In the quiet realm of evening's hush, Where twilight meets the TV's blush, There lies a tool, oft overlooked, Its power vast, its secrets booked.

An Ode to my Job
This is an ode to a place called my job. That crazy place that holds my paycheck so I won’t be a slob. This is an ode to my job. Many think to have one is average, but having a job is what keeps you from living savage.
