APDad: Purethought
Though I write mainly for fun (and am an amateur in every sense of the word) this is a major part of me and I plan to continue and see where it takes me.
My poetry is free flowing (yet the ideas are organized even though the form is not), often tells a story, doesn't rhyme or have much form and is almost always deeply symbolic. I'm very inspired by symbolism, including nature themes,fairy tales. and other whimsical themes. But through this whimsical symbolism I hope to express very real and personal thoughts.
The subjects in my poems are both specific, yet universal. Though some of my poems deal with dark topics, there is always a glimmer of hope for transformation. My purpose is to bring these dark and often unconscious things into the light so we can change them, and share a vision of how beautiful the world can be.
My goal in poetry is to bring about human understanding and social change.

My Poetry
-
Holding on to life as my clenched hand tremors with fear
Slipping away, that one thread of hope escapes me -
weaving a path
towards the sun -
For I have shot down the sun
And cursed my soul with eternal night
