First you flash my skin
Burning, sweaty, puddle of tears
Then you leave me cold
Estrogen, you fickle whore
You are not to be trusted

I am a scientist by trade and artist by soul. My creative outlet used to be dancing but due to injuries and age, I must now find another path. I am hoping my writing, poetry and photography can be this new path.
Awards: While I am grateful and honored for the numerous nominations, I don’t have time to respond to them with the attention they deserve, so for the most part, I am an award free blog.

I just invented a new name for this genre of poetry. I am calling it a Menru. Expect more. This isn’t quite over yet.
