Welcome to my Poetry Website
Publishing my poetry to the internet was probably the biggest contradiction of what I hold sacred, "privacy." It happened at a time I was learning how to build websites but lacked a reason for one. So I fell on my sword and bore my heart and soul to the world. Hence, my first website was a Poetry Website.
For
the majority of my
years, there was no place in my life for poetry. I could not
relate to poetry and was rediculed heavily in my earlier years for my
inability to understand and incorporate poetry into my mind.
I refused to make an effort in this area and accepted the
fact that poetry served no useful purpose. That was, until I sat down
one day, in my 40th year, and suddenly began to write poetry.
I was dubbed the "Closet Poet" by someone who knew my life
and disdain for poetry. Once it began, it was like turning on
the water. For a few years, it continued to pour out of me.
I don't explain
to anyone the inspiration for each of my
poems. Suffice it to say, my poetry comes from my personal
feelings, desires, and experiences, from fantasies, from visions,
sometimes they are a mixture of all of them, they include
observations/feelings about what someone else is feeling, and on
occasion I have written for someone else, upon request. I'll
leave it to you, the reader, to determine for yourself what inspired
each. I hope you enjoy my site!!
As I mentioned above, I don't explain my inspiration for each of my poems. That is my way of preserving a little bit of privacy. I do accept comments about my poetry from anybody who wishes. If you are so inclined, feel free to contact me
