Let's see...first post....always exciting. So this is my spiffy new blog. Well, it was created for a purpose and I suppose I should explain it. I write...a lot, but I almost never let anybody read it. I dunno why, I just don't. But at the urging of my friends, Bill in particular, I'm going to change that. That's what this blog is for, to house my work, be it good, bad, or indifferent. This is everything, so I'm not just posting the good stuff. Some of it will be downright bad, and I feel sorry for those of you I subject to it, but there you have it. So my purpose is to put my stuff out there where someone other than me can see it. I would greatly welcome constructive criticism on anything and everything. Although positive feedback might be nice too, occasionally. So please, please, read and comment. I would greatly appriciate it!!!
Well, ok, that's done and I will begin. This is a poem you may have read as it lives in my profile and has for a while, but I might post the longer mess that it was born from as well. But ok, here is my first poem.
This is a world of dreams and shadows
Of light and myriad shades of gray
Of boundless color and endless blackness
All combining in superb contradiction
Sweet nonsense, a resonance to the ear
A splash of color defying form
Here you see is what you want to see and only that
What you are is what you choose to be
So don’t tell me my vision is false
Don’t tell me my dreams cannot be real
Don’t tell me I can’t read this inkblot world as I choose
I am who I choose to be, no other
And no one to blame but myself
Let me know what you think.
