I write as the inspiration takes me . Thoughts inspired by life and the people around me . Sometimes make it to paper . Writing is for me a way to sort out my feelings . I mostly write when something is bothering me , so much of my stuff is quite dark . Although I would consider myself a happy person as a rule . I may write something and not 5 minutes later decide that is not how I feel at all. New insight , new ideas , come along faster then I can write them . So if you know me don't see my words here as my current state of mind . My poetry is just a glimpse of momentary and often fleeting muse. Also I vary often write things based on a moments inspiration from other writers . Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery they say but I mean no harm .


Thought I should post a note here , people keep asking me , How come you read my poetry everyday and never leave a comment ? And who are you and why did you put me on your favorites list do you know me ?
So here's the picture , I get up in the morning and make myself a nice hot cup of coffee . Then I curl up in my little chair and read poetry till my mind wakes up.I'm not really awake enough to talk to anyone or say anything . The most I usually manage is applause if I really like something but usually not even that .
As I read the board each day , I notice poets I enjoy reading If I find I read them and enjoy them daily I add them to my favorites . Its easier to be able to just sign in and read what I like from my list . But since I'm only allowed to have 50 people or whatever every now and then someone has to go . So I go to the bottom of the list and see who has not wrote anything in a couple of months and bing there gone . Then viola room for more . I also delete people who write cutting or suicidal poems , its not that I have not felt those things or that I have no compassion but because I feel that , We are adults here among teenagers and children and we want to be keeping that in mind . Expressing those things where young minds can be led to thinking its the norm is irresponsible . So I just delete the person from my favorites . On the other hand if any of you ever do feel that way and want to talk , I'm here all the time and don't mind sharing what little I know of life with others .

This is a poem I wrote about how I picked my all poetry name ...........

I saw ...

I saw a raven
On the storm
Its wings were
Wrought and
Over worn

Twas tween
The clouds
Next to the
Moon without
A hope twas
Certain doom

I watched
It fight
Against the
Gail of
Driving rain
And
Cutting hail

It struggled
Just to keep
Its place
As against
The storm it
Tried to
Race

No current
Warm to sooth
Its brow it
Would find
A way somehow

To reach its
Destiny of
Choice a
Plan no words
Could ever
Voice

And as I
Watched
That raven
Fly
I realised
So much
Like him
Am I

Forever
Fighting
Against the
Storm

To find
My way
Down paths
Un-shorn
