Donny's premier performance poet.

About Me

I drink too much coffee, I smoke too many cigarettes, I suffer from too many unrequited "love" affairs, and maintain too little dignity.

& then I stay up too late to write it all down.


The name's Jess.
Born and raised in Doncaster, the epitome of the one-horse town.
Gucci Socialist.
Tarty Feminist.
Cynical Romantic.
Closet Dramatic.
Armed with the gift of the gab and too much time, I'll deify you with the floweriest words, or castrate you in free verse.

Poem for somebody important - Everything Was Illuminated

Comedown

The title is fairly self explanatory; it hurt to write this poem, it hurt to redraft it, and it hurts to read it now. I think the sheer abscence of serotonin is palpable, ha. But then what are Sundays...

Im shit at talking. POEM!

I find that, when faced with a night time situation where my vocabulary and knack at slotting words together would be rather useful (if not crucial), I immediately lose any ability to form s...

Early morning self pity/another "proper poem"
