2006...Amor vincit omnia.
I live near the Murray River, where I sometimes go fishing. Lucky, aren't I? I play the piano and guitar, spend hours on my computer, garden, look after 3 chooks, waterpaint, spend time with my family and write poetry.
I am an older Christian man, who likes to write his thoughts and feelings and hope that other people may share the experience. I have learnt a lot about poetry since I have been on AP. I enjoy every moment I am here.
I have made many friends in different countries and it is heart warming to share similar experiences as well as learn about the cultures of different lands. There are many differences from the wonderful lay back culture of Australia.
I am always looking for a new way to write and new ideas to express. My favourite poet is John Keats and I also enjoy William Wordsworth. Leigh Hunt [Old Poetry] is an ancestor of mine.
Since coming to AP, I have read more old poetry, and I have learnt to appreciate the modern poets we have here. I did not realise there was so much talent.
I wish you good fortune with your writing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Fatal existence,

My best art was of her, because -
Listen with me to the stillness of serene sleep,
as I walk a shaded lane of quiescence.

Slowly I lifted the lid of the camp oven. The inviting smell of cooking made my gastric juices run wild but I knew the tucker -

Stingersinger53 on August 24, 2007I just wanted to stop by and say Hi! My name is cayla, or as I'm known here stingersinger53. I just entered one of your contest and thought the idea was great so I thought I would come by your page because I don't think I have seen your name or read any of your poetry and I've been here a couple of years now. Hope to hear more from you!
Hugs!!!
Cayla
