I can't believe it's been 30 years since I started writing poetry, at least the real kind that I wasn't writing to get a grade in school. I'm still fine tuning my second book, Passion & Pain, but I can't stop writing new poems and every time I write one I want to include it. My first published book of poetry and prose titled, "Seeds and Weeds" is available on Amazon.com and seeds-and-weeds.com through the Amazon book stores at the bottom of each webpage. Poetry from Seeds and Weeds is listed below in folders labled Chapters 1-9. Prose excerpts are viewable on my website at www.seeds-and-weeds.com
Passion & Pain cab be previewed here in the P&P folders by chapter (1-16) or @ www.passion-and-pain.com
I just started a new career, currently in training and looking forward to staying with this one till I retire. Finally a company that I actually can retire with benefits and earn a decent living.
My philosophy for writing poetry is simple, write from your heart and those who read it will recognize the passion within. We are not reporters of the obvious, we are exressors of that which is hidden within. Write it, speak it, expose it.... If you have something inside that you need to set free, can you live with handing it off to be enslaved by commercial addicts?
Be unafraid and be aware. In the blink of an eye, someone you have been waiting for will come walking by. Before your lashes raise open again, footsteps might have carried away your destiny.
