I didn't intend to not post any poems these last two months.
Back in February, I made a promise to myself to write a little bit every day (even if it's terrible). And surprisingly, only two-and-halfish poems came out of it.

So, while I brush up those two-and-a-halfish poems, here's a short little something that I wrote in the gift shop at the National World War II museum about a very innocent and hopeful crush.
