Generation Poetry
My aunt sent me some poetry that my grandmother wrote when she was eighteen, which was in the year 1946.

What if it is like opposite land, and everything is opposite of myself? There is a small bit of land fairly close to … Continue reading

If you’re going to troll someone, at least do it on a site where the person is writing … Continue reading
