About Me and My Poetry

I am a single man, separated, living life for my kids. I have written poetry for decades, but never really considered sharing it. My Ex kept some of my books that I filled, saying she would publish after I died. I joined a friendship site, and found so many people that really need a lift. Hence, I decided to attempt to help them with my words. My poetry seems to just come to me. Sometimes, I have to fight for the verses, but most times, it is just there. Not sure of the source, but, be it dark, or light, it rears it's head. Sadly I lose a lot of it, due to lack of recording media when inspiration hits. I hope you enjoy what I write. I know that I have been able to help some, and I hope to continue to do so. There is no greater joy, than to change someones mood from sad to happy.

A shadow falls, but much too brief,

It's final goal, and not our doom,
