Switching formatsSo this isn't a poem, but I wanted to share the tumblr I've created to house all of my poetry. My tumblr contains some of the poems I've posted here, as well as edited and completely new poems. From here on out I'll almost exclusively post on tumblr, so if you have an interest in any of my work I urge you to check out the link, and perhaps even follow. Thanks! / http://victoriannpoetry.tumblr.com/
