I'm the aberrational poet your English teacher warned you not to read or follow into the literary abyss. If you steal my poetry...I will find you in between fogyish metaphoric lines. I'll be armed with my quill and papyrus where at will I can wield my power as a writer to erase you from my realm. I will smudge you with inky darkness and do unprintable things like a ghost in imaginary darkness.
In full disclosure, I am absurdly mad and take no responsibility for my actions if crossed poetically. But, otherwise, I’m a simple free spirited poetic writer wordsmithing outside the grammatical lines and rules. An easy going romantic rebel at heart.
I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone as a friend until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with others, like-minded artists, or writers.
Thank you for reading, commenting and your visit. I appreciate all the feedback (good or bad) you care to offer.
Feel free to reach out by email for private exchanges if you wish.

🖤🖤🖤 Those first two lines struck a cord. Beautifully done.
We can never replace the ones we long to see no matter what time of year it is, and sadly we feel the loss of them more in December when the world rejoices. “As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.” (Proverbs 25:20).
Take comfort and rest in the Lord who understands.

Well said. I spent many hours with tears this holiday season as it’s been only a few weeks since the passing of my dad. And yet I am grateful for the memories for that is why he was so loved.
I’m sorry for your loss. My daughter passed a year ago nearThanksgiving. Thank you for reading and commenting both. May your memories help comfort you.
Didn’t even want to hit the line button.😞 I’m sorry. I can’t imagine the loss of a daughter. I am grateful there feels like some peace in your words, as well as bringing comfort to others. Including me.
In The Beginning Man Tried Ascending To Heaven via The Tower Of Babel. Now He Tries To Elevate His Existence To A Heavenly State of Consciousness Thru The Use Of Hallucinogenic Drugs. And, Since The 20th Century, He Continually Voyages Into Outer Space Using Spacecrafts. Prayer Thru Christ Is The Only Way To Reach Heaven.
