Nikki H Rose has come a long way from writing about a Marshmallow Queen in kindergarten, the first of her writings she remembers making her proud.
Today she’s a well-educated English teacher with a knack for writing emotional and personal poetry.
Setting the scenery for a poet
Nikki was born in the great state of New York, but grew up in a rural area of Vermont, surrounded by trees and various mountains where she went skiing and ice skating regularly.
I am already picturing the quaint scene–snow, red cheeks, smiling faces.
Nikki lived on the side of a mountain, attending high school only ten minutes away and on the side of another mountain. Fall was her favorite season because of the beautiful foliage there in Vermont. It sounds like a beautiful place and one I can certainly understand setting the stage for an emotive, articulate poet to take flight.
I tend to focus my poetry on specific emotions more than stories, granted they are often linked together. My goal and vision for my writing is to make it relatable. I want everyone who reads it to get something out of it – to see themselves in it – to feel something – even if it’s not what I had initially intended.

I Miss You
I miss you
the you that I remember
the you that you once were
I miss your smile
that lit up the room
that was contagious
I miss your laugh
as it reverberated around me
humming deep within
Poetically Yours,
Christina
