Dear Splashers, meet Gabriella Michelle a.k.a. Angel of Death. One of our youngest Splashers, she is so enthusiastic about her poetry, it’s infectious. She dabbles in paints and words while also balancing academics and school. Say hello!

SW: How did your wings bear you to SplashHall?
AD: I was just looking for a good site to post poems and it was one of the first ones I found where people actually helped you and commented on your work

SW: What keeps you flying in here?
AD: SplashHall is an amazing place. The people here are not only wonderful poets and artists but seem to honestly care about helping and encouraging creative writing

SW: Your favorite forum(s)… any special reasons?
AD: dark gothic and mystery poetry. Well I’ve just always loved the mysterious and dark poetry is what I mostly write.

SW: Your favorite Splashers so far…
AD: I love witt- she helped me out a lot when I first became a splasher and lady sunshine can brighten up my darkest poems. voodoo child has also helped me and encouraged me and I think one of my favorite poets in SplashHall is Sartor. He's an amazing writer. I absolutely love his work!

SW: When did you start writing?
AD: Well I’m still pretty young... I think the first poem i ever wrote was in the 2nd grade.

SW: Favorite authors/poets outside Splash?
AD: W.B. Yeats, Edgar Allen Poe, Emily Dickinson, Shaw, Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, the great Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, Robert Burns, George Gordon, Lord Byron and many more... I think I'll stop there.

SW: What are the strongest influences on your writing?
AD: My friends and family, sometimes things I see happen either on TV or just in the world, but mostly its how I happen to be feeling or thinking of when I write

SW: What are your other interests, hobbies and passions?
AD: I love art. My room is covered in drawings and paintings I do. I love reading of course, going to movies ,and spending time with friends, and music is one of my greatest passions. My father's a musician. I can’t really play anything...lol But I love to listen, I love classic rock, and a lot of new bands. My favorite band is The Used.

SW: If I were a genie in a bottle, and offered you three wishes, what would you choose?
AD: hhmmm.... First I’d wish for money… lol Second good health for everyone I know, and last and most important I’d wish to just be happy for the rest of my life(to laugh every day)

SW: How much do your studies affect your writing and other art?
AD: Its hard sometimes to get homework done. Honestly I usually choose other things over doing my homework... lol

SW: What are your poetic ambitions like?
AD: Well of course I want to get better and I hope to study it in college. I don’t plan on making it a career but its something I love and plan on doing for a long time to come

SW: What prompted your choice of username?
AD: Well there’s this show called one tree hill maybe you've seen it? anyway the creator of the show Mark Shwann is an amazing writer and the show has something in it for teens and adults alike. The characters he creats are amazing one of them in particular is my favorite – Peyton – she loves music, she draws anyway... That whole angel of death thing sort of revolves around her and is used often in the show plus I find that it's very mysterious

SW: Any suggestions you might have for Rg to improve on your Splashing experience?
AD: hhmmm... I can’t really think of anything…

SW: Anything special you'd like to say to everyone here?
AD: For those of you that have helped me and complimented me THANK YOU! =)
