A collage consisting of cityscapes with a bright and colorful, flowery silhouette of a girl with a tall top bun is placed on top of the city scapes. On the left edge going down and wrapping around the bottom of the image is written a poem in diary entry format.

I often express my desires and aspirations in the pages of my diary and have been doing so since I learned how to write. I lived 30 minutes away from New York City and I have relatives who live in the Bronx so I visited frequently. I decided to write an acrostic poem to combine my ritual of the “Dear Diary” format and rhyming poems which is another artistic expression featured in my journal.
