Poetry: Scared

May 26, 2018

Scared Scared, when the wind blows tight around my neck And the lightning crackles Making tall shadows dance in the midnight black And the glass shatters And the walls move closer around me The floor shakes The lights fall The rain storms on The thunder booms Out threats This is scared.

Poetry: Free Sunrise

May 21, 2018

Never Forget What I saw that one day The sunrise Golden Brighter than anything And I won’t listen anymore Cause I’m free, Freer than ever before When I run to the snow, Where the sun still shines And the shimmering lake Has little ducklings quacking to the rhythm of the sunrise And the beats of…

About Me

Hi! I’m Emma! I love to bake, eat (anything gluten free that doesn’t taste like cardboard), craft, write, play cello, sing, do calligraphy and play with my dog, Cali (She’s on Instagram now!) Yeah, my bedroom is also actually the cupboard under the stairs, just like Harry Potter 🙂
