About
Hi, I'm Jessica. I’m a 20-something student and writer. I'm ISFJ. I'm currently studying international studies and history in my hometown, Melbourne.

I started this blog in 2008 while listening to Cole Porter. I like poetry, pasta puttanesca, make up, feminism, chillwave, monopoly, and soft cheeses. When I'm not blogging here, I am a freelance writer living off money from retail.

For now, I'm here to misbehave.

Tonight, No Poetry Will Serve

by Adrienne Rich
Saw you walking barefoot 
taking a long look 
at the new moon’s eyelid

later spread 
sleep-fallen, naked in your dark hair 
asleep but not oblivious 
of the unslept unsleeping 
elsewhere

Tonight I think 
no poetry 
will serve

Syntax of rendition:

verb pilots the plane 
adverb modifies action

verb force-feeds noun 
submerges the subject 
noun is choking 
verb disgraced goes on doing

now diagram the sentence
