POETRY IS POETRY

Poetry is poetry. Just that. I like to experiment with different forms of poetry. I like to write all kinds of poetry – light, dark, humorous,in between. Many of my poems do come from my experiences of life. Either my own experiences, or what I have observed. I have cancer. I am blind. I am in physical pain. Sometimes I write candidly about that. I still experience great joy in my life that is ebbing away. I write about that. I write about living. I write about dying. I write about death. I nearly died a while ago – I saw into eternity. I write about that. I write about being in a different reality to everyone else. It is my world. I write about my world. I write about the Divine – because I have experienced it – we all have the Divine within us, wgatever name we call it by. I might write about the Cross one day – because that is part of my own faith. The Dark Night of the Soul, which is painful, but which purifies us if we allow it to. I write as I AM. This is ME. Sometimes I am sad. Sometimes I am happy. Sometimes I am ecstatic. Sometimes I am hurt. This world is slipping away for me. I write as I want to. I am so grateful that so many people read my writing, and that they find inspiration from it. I am so moved by all your wonderful Comments, and your love. Please keep coming. Much love,
