Midnight Lace• Show poetry

I am an open book read me how you will. My own poetry style consists really of no particular set style.  I have tried writing many forms from cinquains and haikus to sonnets.  I have found I'm reasonably good at them, but most of the time I still prefer to write freestyle.  I tend to write what I feel the moment my pen is upon the paper and make no apologies for that.   Most of my poems are written from experiences… whether I'm the one who experienced it, or a loved one.   Some even come from parts of conversations I have had with friends or family.

My best friend, and a very awesome poet on this wonderful site, is my mother, Touchof1der .  She's been there for me throughout my entire life.  She has been the one consistent thing in my life.  I'm forever grateful to her, for all she has done, and continues to do for me.  People are forever commenting on how alike we are and while that is true, we are also uniquely different.

The art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surroundings. ~ Okakura Kakuz

Such is human psychology that if we don't express our joy, we soon cease to feel it. ~ Lin Yutang
