Welcome!

Shae O'Brien grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and it has bred her to have a love for music, coffee, the ocean, and rain. Her love for writing was planted at a young age, with the encouragement of beautiful family and inspiring teachers, and grew into a passion she cannot go a day without. During the day, Shae is also an English teacher, promoting the art of the written word among the youth of Austin. Her writing has been featured in publications such as Off The Wookie, AIPF Di-verse-city Anthology 2012, and TWENTY: Poems In Memoriam. She recently self-published her first chapbook, "Truths Unspoken", which takes the reader on a poetic journey through the passion, love, heartbreak, and rebirth of a relationship. You may find her on any given night writing or performing her work around Austin, TX.

Contemporary Haiku

Kiss me like today
Is Draft Day, and your birthdate
Has been called to serve.

Virgin shivering
Push deep inside, Pop!, Bleeding
First tooth extraction.

I swore you off
So I french your drunk new girlfriend
Second-hand kissing

You love is like a
Haiku with thirteen syllables:
Just not enough.

The sound of your voice
Makes me wet...oh stop...no stop...
Stop! I'm lactating!

Worst obituary writer quits.
No one took him seriously!
