Ellen Everett is a poet, author, illustrator, and graphic designer from Tennessee with a passion for storytelling through both language and art. In 2018, she published her first collection of poetry, "I Saw You As A Flower" at the age of nineteen. In 2022, she released her second soul-stirring collection of poetry, "If Hearts Had Training Wheels," a book she designed, illustrated, and formatted from the cover to the interior. She graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a BFA in Graphic Design with a concentration of Illustration and from Roane State Community College with an AA in Mass Communications. Ellen has always been captivated by the process of taking an idea and turning it into something tangible and accessible. She finds something magical about creating something out of nothing and bringing an idea to life. She continues to express herself through language, art, and videography on her social media platform.
If you are looking forever, I will take the batteries out of my clock so that we'll be stuck inside this moment as if time had really stopped. I would tell 'I love you' every second. Except here seconds don't exist, so I would tell 'I love you' with each breath, with each smile, with each kiss.
And when I die, you can crank your watch, restart your clocks, begin the time.
And know that we were infinite in the moment that you were mine.
