Natural Essence is a compilation of my personal essays, structured poetry, and short stories. The styles in which I write essays are analytical, descriptive, and interpretive. The poetry styles of which I am most fond of penning are: - concrete
- pantoum
- rhyming
- triolet and villanelle
The styles of short story writing I enjoy are twofold: (1) content with 150 words or less that I have entitled Stories in a Nutshell and (2) flash fiction. Stories in a Nutshell are stories with content condensed to the bare bones of story writing. Flash Fiction content ranges from a word count of 500-1000 words.
