‘Grey House’ takes the perspective of a young child who grows to realise the tendencies of her mother after moving into a apartment complex. Of course, this neglectful / dangerous relationship can be interpreted as an extended metaphor for something else.

I’ve been writing and thinking of stories since I started playing with toys, telling myself wondrous tales with ill-fitting figurines and using my books to represent houses and buildings my characters would explore. Naturally, I have been drawn to social work because I am interested in listening to peoples stories and exploring their identity.

There, We’re Whispers – What the Heck am I Rambling about? #7
There, We’re Whispers’ is the first poem I wrote in the ‘Autumn, That Bastard’ poetry collection. Originally titled “There Were Whispers” I revamped and remodelled it to focus on place rather than time. With that said, this type of poem I am more interested in what my readers perceive of it.
