# About me
βPoetry is prose bewitched, a music made of visual thoughts, the sound of an idea."-Mina Loy
"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
-William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5
For the Anniversary of My Death
Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
When the last fires will wave to me
And the silence will set out
Tireless traveler
Like the beam of a lightless star
Then I will no longer
Find myself in life as in a strange garment
Surprised at the earth
And the love of one woman
And the shamelessness of men
As today writing after three days of rain
Hearing the wren sing and the falling cease
And bowing not knowing to what
-W.S. Merwin

I do, I'm looking forward to getting more time to read it. I haven't found many on here that I like reading, so it's nice to find some. So many people take their emotions and experiences seriously, but not their writing about it.

I completely agree. Just because you spew words onto a page in some sort of poetic formation does not make it poetry.
Not that I am any master of the art- I just write in a style I would like to read myself. I know almost nothing about "real" poetry. When I find a new writer I like, I tend to dive right in and go through a lot of their of gallery in a short time.
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, etc. Please feel free to make them.

Thank you very much, I've submitted now, reading some. Hoping I'll be a good fit since I've been developing a very compact voice and style for a long time now--can't remember the last poem I wrote that was more than a page.
