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.”

Times

Everything is so different
I couldn't see anything changing
But pretty soon nothing was the same

Isn't that how things always go
Nothing can ever stay the same for long
The only thing that doesn't change is the fact things do

What's to be done
When everything is different
And you don't recognize any surroundings

It's not right to bury yourself away from society
Though so many do, only to discover
It doesn't really help

Often things get worse when secluded
Eventually we all must come out
Come out and face the world

Times come and times go, and
I'm not sure if this one is
Coming or going
