Dead Bones

I am a poet of both dark and light poetry. I enjoy the creative challenge of all of it.

I have been writing poetry since I was about 15 yrs. old, and over the years, I guess it has become a form of therapy for me, just spilling my heart onto the page. Sometimes it resembles poetry, other times it appears to be just a puddle of blood,

(Bleeding Heart.)

If you are looking for flowers and rainbows and butterflies, this is not the place to search, although there is that side to my poetry, there is also a darker side which I refuse to keep locked up inside myself because some people do not find it pleasing.

I write because I need to write, I need to express what I am feeling, and that includes the good, the bad, and the withdrawn. Most of my poetry was written so long ago, I cannot even remember what decade it was in! The paper it was written on is almost dust.

I am a very, very old woman, who seeks nothing from anyone. I am a recluse who believes the whole world is out to hurt me, any way they can. So dont expect much more than that.

Not so social? Only at parties Dear, only at parties.

I tend to hide my pain behind anger, but I am learning to let that go, and just cry it out in the privacy of a darkened room.

No matter what you may read here, I am a well balanced indivual who is healthy minded. Do not be misled by poetry that was written in a moment of anger of grief. To me.... it is only poetry, an expression of an emotion which may have been fleeting, or one that has been sustained. Poetry, that's all.

I seek nothing.
