Scorching the Earth's core
until my vision ripples and blends.

About Me
Hello I’m Tara. I have been doing poetry since I was a freshman in high school. I have always enjoyed writing all sorts of things and I feel like poetry was my best sort of style. I enjoy how it can help create such simple imaginative thoughts into beautiful words. I would like to meet like minded people and to have help getting critique I also hope to be able to see other peoples writing style as well.
