I cling to the shadows
willing to be overlooked.
I love the anonymity
and cling even more.
I peek out furtively
to see if I’ve been noticed.
To be seen is unacceptable.
To be seen is
to be bruised.

An Ohio native, the author wrote her first poem in the fourth grade. It was entitled Daffodils. At that time, she fell in love with the form. She wrote through the angst of adolescence and into the beauties and dissonance of adulthood. She has of late begun to write flash fiction. It speaks to her as another short form. Her first chapbook, Lyrical Legacy, was published in 2021. She has also been included in several anthologies. All are available on Amazon.
