i never go out
said the introvert
to his camembert

About this poem

A particularly good vintage of camembert cheese; soft, rich and ever-so-slightly overripe.

About Natasha Simonds

Natasha is an Arts/Law student at Monash University. Sometimes her thoughts present themselves in curious and unusual ways – when this happens she jumps on them, wrestles them into words and calls them “poetry”. She has spent the last few years inappropriately laughing in galleries and quiet spaces, damaging her hearing for the sake of live music, covering her walls in postcards, locking herself out of the house and spilling tea over dog-eared books. One of her life goals was to get something published in a peculiar place… so now she is quite baffled as to what to do with herself.
