submission by Arianna Malo

[arianna malo]

Hello, I’m Arianna Malo, though I go by the pen name Anna Blare. I was born in Quebec Canada during 1998, and I still live there today. I spent most of my life creating things, be it poetry, art, or stories. I love to create, and it brings me a lot of happiness when I see people enjoying what I make. Though that may seem a little narcissistic of me. I have spent most of my life trying to improve, and become a better poet, artist and writer. I honestly think the best life I can live, is a life where I can create freely.

“A Melancholy winter’s night”

Blanketed in white,

I lay in the night.

The cold air bite’s,

it invite’s me to stay.

gazing out into the almost murky frozen water’s,

My mind spiraling to be just as deep.

This melancholy mood,

Leaves me with nothing to lose.

I will take my time,

Painstakingly slow.

I will Let the frost form Within my heart.

Just as it does atop the water.

Allow me this moment,

Allow me my amusement.

Did you truly think,

This is how i’d let it end?

That i would spend all this time,

inching along thin ice.

Only to stomp when in the center?

I was a long seen danger,

Like cracked ice.
