Swamp Thing• Show poetry

I have always enjoyed writing poetry and short stories. I have not written anything in a very long time but I am looking forward to posting some of my work. I hope that anyone who reads it will enjoy it but my main purpose in writing it is for my own enjoyment and peace of mind. There is really no telling what kind of things I might write; sweet, funny, dark, or even stuff that might be kind of twisted. It all really depends on my mood at the time that I decide to put pen to paper. I guess we will just have to see what we see.
