Shyanne B. is an 18 year old senior who attends Lapeer High School. She would always read as a hobby and slowly she grew to love writing as well. She took this class to learn more about how to be a better author and to learn the ropes of being entertaining in her work. Her other hobbies include drawing, skateboarding, and making jewelry. She plans to attend an art school to become an animator.

Her poem “The Colors of Love” was inspired by the way her previous relationship made her feel. She chose to publish this poem because of her past experiences and how they shaped her into who she is today. She wanted to allow people to understand that what people say about love isn't always true, and that it can be a vile experience if it isn’t with the right person.
