Poetry or Short Story?
Sometimes, when I get mad, I start to speak in metaphors. Honestly, arguments with me often sound like talking to a very upset or distressed female version of Dr. Seuss. Which, being mad, is certainly the last person I want to sound like. But I have always loved writing and singing. It's one of those things that comes more naturally to me. Not to say I am good at it, just comfortable with it. So here, I'll share with you some of my work from over the years. After three poems, there is a short story based on a real story. I'll be doing a few more publishes along those lines soon. In the meantime! Enjoy.

Emma's Word of the Day
This is my fifth "Emma's Word of the Day" on Vocal. Though for many years I have done a "Word of the Day" on my Facebook account, as I am a word geek. When I was 7 years old, I had the longest spelling list of any Year 2 student in my school. Still to this day, if I come across a word I don't know, I will stop reading to look up the new word to see what it means. To see if there is a way I could be using that word. Even with my very large vocabulary I still find words that are new and they make me excited. Words have power, magic and they help us understand the world we live in, thus why they hold so much sway for me.
