Iain• Show poetry

I'm a chaos cowboy out of colorado springs, co. I've been writing poetry for some time though i think my best has been my more recent stuff (then again im not big on love poetry and emo goth kid angst stuff) Anywhose I tend to be a very political writer but i do have everything from angst to love to political so just glance over my stuff there is certainly something you will like. Of late i have also been writing a fair amount of poetry on the more psychological scale. Um anywhose i think thats all I've got to say. Mayhaps i should put a quote in here or something. meh, oh well... okay so i've finally managed to get up the energy to put up some quotes so here ya go.
