Frank O’Hara, Among the Great Modern Poets
For a man who rarely delved into his past, Frank O’Hara wrote a lot about himself. Writing over a 100 poems inspired by his life, art, and the world around him—Frank O’Hara had a wonderfully observant mind and a good, simple hand to let his words flow. Out of everything his style is known for—his conversational tone, sarcastic lines, post-modernism elements and the long lists of names that are dabbled amongst many of his works—it’s his never ending contradictions and conflictions that made his poetry a true work o Inspired by Art, Powered by Contradiction

Color of BlueWe come, skin tinted the color of frost,
Color of cold, color of blue.
They shout, carrying words with the wind, preaching,
"People are equal," but people are lost.
Little lies, the size of snowflakes drift,
Landing on hopes, landing on dreams.
Our hearts, with winter's tears touching it, freeze,
Numbing it until the blood turns blue.
For some, the cold beats them down,
Chilling their warmth, chilling their light.
Their blood, turning into blue ice shatters,
Finally cracking under the pressure.

AdolescenseI think there's a thousand songs the wind tells me.
The wind still whistles in my ear whenever I push up against it, as if reminding me how childish I really am. When I yell questions to no one in particular, except maybe God and anyone far away from my heart to truly listen, the wind sends back a copy of myself so I understand what they hear. They hear a child, wailing, lost, still pondering life as if she had just been alive for seconds. At the same time, I'm older than most children, and my voice grows more like my parents each day. "Adolescence," everyone tells me, but what I'm feeling now is more than just one mere word long.

Your gallery is small, but I can see you have talent and potential. Please keep it up, and drop by mine anytime. 
That means a lot, hearing you say that. I know that I can't draw, I mostly do edits, but I'm so glad to get any kind of feedback on anything in my gallery. 
I tend to be really private with my best pieces of work. 
I've been writing since I was really little though. I started reading and writing at three.
