To all my friends: I have not dropped off the face of the earth, I've just burrowed into it for a while. I am in the process of emerging and shaking the dust off of my poetry.
I have learned many awesome new forms since I joined AP! I've tried this and that, and using form and meter is by far my favorite way to write. I rhyme, and I don't rhyme, but . . . yeah.
I sing, too. Classical soprano, though I'm hardly professional yet.
My favorite poets/storytellers? Edgar Allen Poe, C.S. Lewis, George MacDonald, J.R.R. Tolkien, Lewis Carroll, and Shel Silverstein.
I've been writing since I could hold a pencil; although it's only been since January '07 that I've returned to poetry. I write either what amuses me or what I feel, and my work often tends to be narrative. I like to write semi-cryptically sometimes. Someone recently observed that I tend toward the classical as well, and I can't argue with that! I am a story-teller at heart. Always have been.
I don't write to make a point, get on my soap box, promote a cause, or change the world -- I write for the pure enjoyment of it, because it is life to me, and an escape.
I welcome critical comments on my poetry, as long as they are from poets honestly desiring to help another improve her work, rather than just a wanton rip fest.
My real-life youngest brother and little sister have profiles on AP, too.

Bob 42 : God is Time (Spend it with Him) on February 16An eon has a beginning and an end
Otherwise there would not be more than one
One just ended yesterday at the bend
Time warp for the new one has just begun
Did you celebrate with God or just send
Regrets, because You are the only one
That`s worthy of respect in Your own mind
Be grateful that our God is also Kind
Thanks again Carrie for the ottoma rima.
.........Bob 42 -

Bob 42 : Ottoma Rima on December 14, 2008Bushwhacked
Its a conundrum why we as voters
Elect as President hypaethral head
Then re-elect it; as we`re not jokers
The onus is ours as we count the dead
Osama bin Laden, hashish smoker
Enjoys his freedom home in a plush bed
As it leaves office, consider the pain
To be replaced by another Hussein.
I just couldn`t let IT skulk away without
expressing my views poetically....Bob 42
Hope you are well; I haven`t seen your
pretty picture in a while...Bob 42
