Pantoum Poem

The heart must crack. To accept more love,
first it will break. It will become full and burst
into one thousand sparking bits. To make room,
the heart must split its seams and open.

First, it will break. It will become full and burst.
The heart must crack to accept more love.
The heart must split its seams and open
into one thousand sparkling bits to make room.

Noelle Currie

I have been writing short fiction and poetry for ten years. I recently completed the second of two novels that are currently unpublished. I was the winner of The Book Doctor’s Pitchapalooza in 2013 and recipient of the Gold Medal in poetry in the Tunxis Academic and Art Challenge in 2009. I submit poetry and short fiction pieces to the creative writing website ImageCurve.com weekly. I graduated from the University of Connecticut in 2013 with a degree in vocal performance. My second love is singing opera.
