Writing, Reading, Thinking
I write a lot of stories, and never really got into poetry. I wrote a few, here and there and none where ever good. My first good poem was "Lay Down-- Cry No More." The reason it was a success was the fact that I stopped trying to rhyme and tried to speak from my heart. My first rhyming poem that I thought good enough to publish was "Lament of the Greystar." Funny thing about it: I was throwing it together for a story and by the end of the first stanza, realized I was rhyming, so I rhymed the second stanza. So that rhyme was by accident. My first intentional rhyming poem was "Profero Lux (By the Waters)" and I read it ever time I turn the computer on, I love it so much. My two latest poems, "Profero Lux" and "Under the Fading Trees" talks about the ever continuing spiritual warfare in my life. Spirituality is a big part of my life, and it is evident my poetry reflects that. I am a Christian, and I muse over the scriptures to better understand the mysteries of God. It is he, alone, to whom all glory for my work is due.- Favorite Stuff (poets, poems, quotes, hobbies, etc.)
