(insert appropriate greeting)
I don't write as much as I used to. I started writing at 12 when it was something I had, that nobody knew I was doing. Then I started using it as an escape. Then it got too linked to why I was escaping, so I stopped. Which is why you'll see there is nothing from me past '06 until about September this year. I used to write loads, but realised that - with very few exceptions - none of it was very good and so I deleted and burned it. So, despite reaching 5 years in '08, there's only one pre-'08 poem at last check.
I guess you could have described by pre-teenage and teenage years as "fractured". "Smooth" certainly wouldn't have been applicable. And my poetry reflected that, but not as well as I thought at the time!
I do think that what we've seen and what we've experienced makes us. That disturbs me slightly, because I've seen and experienced things that could - euphemistically - be described as "not fun". And I see the effects it's had on my life and it's not all positive. I don't believe that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Some things, sure. But not all.
I have a favourite poem that was released on September 11th 2006. It's called "Out of the Blue" by Simon Armitage and it is very meaningful and it really does make you think.
I'm also a Shakespeare fan. I think I may have been one of very few people in my year who actually looked forward to Shakespeare units in English. I don't pretend to be an expert, I just like it. Sonnets 130 and 138 in particular.
Talking of Simon Armitage - as I did in a previous paragraph, do keep up! - he wrote a poem called My Second Best Bed - or similar - about Shakespeare's will. It was excellent. Read it if you can.
Allpoetry is safe, because you don't know who I am or where I am or what I do. I suspect that more of us are on here for that reason, and just don't admit it.
Don't bother being saccharine with me. I don't like it, I don't enjoy it. I'm not very good (at all) and therefore need the help. You telling me I'm fab, whilst lovely, does me no favours.

I have a blog. I have facebook. I can't write this on either of those, because people I know - actually, physically know - read them. But it needs saying. I need to say it.
