I love blogs! I love writing! I thought I would create a new blog site for my writing passion. I would like to post little tid bits of writing info whether it be publishing tips, or just creativity options. I will post some of my writing for others to critique or just enjoy. I could put a book together but I don't have enough material yet(since I lost my life's work in a fire a few years ago) and I would rather work on actual stories to publish. Kind of makes it worth the time and paper. Poetry I think gives you a little taste of the authors style and skills yet is short enough it should be given for free. Call it an entree.
I have written most of my poetry on love and life since emotions usually bring out the voice in most people. I have had a hard time saying what I feel yet it flows so smoothly out on paper. I'm sure alot of you out there can relate.
There will be no specific topics or boundaries on this site, although all I write is strictly clean and not anything racy or adult content.
I do have children's story ebooks I am working on selling so if you find you like my writing and would like to see what my books offer I would love for you to contact me. The poetry I share with you on this site you have permission to use as you would like. Just remember they are all copywritten as my material and my name attached needs to remain intact.
So, on to the first poem I introduce to you:
A Lesson Learned

In a long, dark alley
With the world full of noise
A little boy cries
As he holds close his toys.
He watches in horror
As the smoke billows 'round
His house is still burning
All the way to the ground.

His world is in shambles
His clothes are a mess
His mother stands screaming
In complete utter distress.
The sirens are all shrieking
The policemen all yell
The boy stands there shaking
With his story to tell.

His mother had told him
So many times he knew
Not to play with those matches
For this is what they would do.
The boy shivered in fear
At the punishment unknown
The look on his mother's face
When the truth would be shown.

A lesson is learned
For the boy on this day
Fortune has saved him
And not made him pay.
For if a life had been taken
With his careless play
His own life would be lost
In the debt to repay.

Never would he be foolish
Never would he tempt Fate
Never would he play the odds
Against the human state.
