I'm 57 years old and been married to the same woman for 37 years. We have three kids that have all left the nest. We also have two grandsons and one granddaughter. I've been writing for the past six years pretty steady but haven't gotten anything published yet. I have completed two horror novels. One called Warehouse and the other called Vendor and have started a collection of short stories, memoirs, and poems called Skitter Scatter. I have only started writing poetry the last couple of years and enjoy it. It helps get things off my chest and is very gratifying.
"Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader—not the fact that it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon."
E.L. Doctorow
All songs start out as poems
Hello Girl its been awhile
you'll be glad to know
that I've learned how to laugh and smile
Getting over you was slow.
They say old lovers can be just friends
But I didn't think I'd be seeing you
that I'd be seeing you again.
I go crazy
when I look in your eyes I still go crazy
no my heart can't hide
that ol feeling inside
way deep down inside
oh baby,
when I look in your eyes I go crazy.
Paul Davis, "I go crazy"
And If you will carry me tonight
I would be strong enough to fight
And when you're weak and can't go on
then I'll be the bed you lay upon
Blue is blue and so am I
I want to be with you tonight
You're not the only one in need.
Sheryl Crow 1997
Asking only workman's wages
I go looking for a job
but I get no offers
just a come on from the whores on 7th avenue
sometimes I do declare
that I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there.
Paul Simon, 1969
Don't be angry - don't be sad
Don't sit crying over good times you've had
There's a girl right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do
Well there's a rose in the fisted glove
And eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love honey
Love the one you're with
Stephen Stills, 1971
