Poems from TheRumBook
Hi all! I'm Sophie, but my favorite person/creative writing teacher says that I MUST go by the name "Soflow" when I do spoken word...

Or scared
I didn't paint my face because

Late one night I was baking
The most scrumptious of apple pies
When I heard a rustling in the garden
A movement beyond the night
So I...
