I started writing poetry in my sophomore year of high school. I did it because I wanted to have an entry in "Olla Podrida", my school literary and art magazine. It seems my art didn't cut the mustard.

There came a time where it [poetry] became a large part of my life. At first it was random thoughts put to verse and rhyme. I wouldn't say it was all that deep, but it was new to me and as I saw, very original.

Soon I used it to define the things I saw and felt; my experiences. However, it strayed far from defining my random musings and dreams.

Why pseudonyms?

I know some use them as a mask to hide the original writer. I use it like a definition of the voices in my head, the division of my personalities.

And if you're wondering if I ever got into the literary magazine, well yes, but for both my art and my poetry; but more so for my verse
