WELCOME

..and here are a few things to keep in mind:

This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.

Enjoy...

“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.”

I Choose Now

The point of life is to live,
live and look forward.
Don't look back at what you did
or didn't do,
What you had, or didn't.
Look at what is here in front of you.
Take it and run with it.
Pick an option and continue,
Continue looking forward.
None of it can be changed.
Learn. Move on. Look forward only.
I choose this.
I choose now.
I choose to live and love
my youth and in my youth.
