I have written many short stories for this web site. They are hard and take planning. I toil for hours, days sometimes to get them just right, to say exactly what I want. And although I have written many, and am very proud of them, I am a poet at heart. Words in verse flow out of me in minutes. I can hear a random line from some six-year-old at work (I'm not the little girl you think I am) and create something that I consider beautiful from it (Reflections). In these poems, my inner self comes out as I try to show you who I think the characters are. They are everyone, purely themselves, only extensions of me. These poems mean more to me than any story, even an autobiography, ever could. I have decided that I don't like the fact that all of my Kenshin related poetry has to be posted separately, so I put them all together. The following chapters are all poems inspired by the cast of Rurouni Kenshin. Reviews are very much appreciated, and critiques are welcome. I can't improve if I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I hope you enjoy reading my poetry as much as I enjoyed writing it.
