These are poems I have written.

I love writing poetry. I have tried several styles and am always wanting to try something new. But mostly it comes out whole and is what it is.
There are a few that I had to struggle with to get right, but most have come fully born as is.

Where do I get ideas?

Some are from my own thoughts and feelings, some are inspired by a movie, picture or song that resonates and produces a written response in poetic form.
Some express the writer in me and some the loneliness I feel with my better half gone from the world.

I look at the world through my perception filters. And the greatest of these is my love for God. He has given me what little talent I have and has guided and protected me through life. It is only fair that I add those poems that He is a part of in this collection.

I hope you enjoy some of these, and that you too will turn your hand at writing some poetry.

Poems About writing

Writing is such a strange thing.  It can be a strange beast you seek to coax out into the open,  Or a flash of insight that writes itself.  And sometimes it is a wild and crafty animal that flees uncaught … Continue reading
