Dakota

Poet

United States

I'm Dakota. I do writing. Senior creative writer at Douglas Anderson, Web Editor for The Artisan News Magazine, Published in Elan, etc. blah blah blah.
I'm sorry for the lack of fiction in this year's portfolio. I focused on poetry this year, and am very fond of it.
I also included some poetry drafts that have not been revised, for fun I guess.
If you'd like to read my past fiction/essays/poetry or gauge my progress, please check out my previous portfolios.

As always, constructive critique is welcomed.
Please enjoy my art.

This short story was written for a class excersize. Me and my peers were instructed to tell a story through a shell. The shell I chose was a Facebook group.
