I have always been a so called “hopeless romantic.” I started to write poems when I was 12 years old. My poetry writing is a catharsis and helped me to mature and appreciate more over the years. To me, you can have all the money in the world, but if you don’t have love and good relationships; you don’t have anything.
In January of 2006, I had a stroke and now I am in a wheelchair as it affected my right arm and leg. Yet, I still have not lost my sense of humor or the loving way I view the world. If anything, I have learned more about humility and patience.
A poet is somebody who feels, and who expresses
his feelings through words.
This may sound easy. It isn't.
A lot of people think or believe or know they
feel -- but that's thinking or believing or
knowing; not feeling. and poetry is feeling --
not knowing or believing or thinking.
Almost anybody can learn to think or believe
or know, but not a single human being can be
taught to feel. Why? Because whenever you think
or you believe or you know, you're a lot of other
people; but the moment you feel, you're
NOBODY-BUT-YOURSELF.
e.e. cummings
There are people who make comments criticizing what they believe a poem is or isn't. Are they using their heads? Anyway, that's my feelings.
