Melting Ice
by Taeyoung Kim
The polar bear gapes
As his slimming slab of ice
Wanes from beneath him

My ideal writing environment is one that I did not purposely create for writing. I find that I write best when I feel naturally inspired to do so.
What message do you hope to convey to the reader through your piece?
I hope to convey the importance of being conscientious about the effects that we have on other life forms on the planet.
