Feelings Festered
’cause if I’d say the wrong thing/ like a human, like a child/ I’d never live it down/ you collect mistakes to hold against me/ and you don’t lose count Continue reading

About Me
I’m Jacqueline and I’m originally from Western Australia but now I live in Adelaide. I advocate for Australians living with FND, and I hope to return to live poetry performance in the future.
I made this blog because I wanted to share my poems with other people. I’m also working on longer projects, but this website is just for my smaller projects at the moment.
I hope to make a living out of writing someday which is why I’ve put the donation button on this website.
