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.”

Perception

tickle me blue
w/ the knife of your blade

look at me straight
and tell me what you see

is it an odd little girl
or a strange little woman?

am I even who I think I am
who I perceive myself to be?

I'm struggling to discover
who it is I've become

does anyone even notice
all the odd little things

...

do my words make sense
or are they in backward order?
