    • hello dearest poet I paint and write much like you because I have to it is a passion I burn with great write❤

    • Stop, children, what’s that sound? Everybody look what’s goin’ round.

      There are so many reasons to write…I am not exactly sure why I do, I just do. I feel like a conduit
      meant to put the words down that come to me…and I have no idea from where they come.
      But my pen is my brush…I feel like a Pollack when I write…I just throw the words anywhere they want to go.
      And yes, Vol, “we do aim higher than our wings”—
      Maybe part of our drive is to write the one great poem that will make us famous, or at least known.

        Hello! Thanks for stopping by! A poet I knew in my Nashville days once told me, “You know Vol, there are two kinds of poems, “Bullshit poems and horseshit poems…Some come out in one big squirt, the other in hard clumps.” I am with you, sir… but as of right now I can think of a third kind… Constipated, when none want to come at all…

    • You have always had a way of searching and finding clues that make sense of emotions and what they can do to somebody’s life.. its glorious happiness, its intense admission that being can be lonesome at times.

      ‘We live in shallow waters, miles from shore
      satisfied but afraid of being, afraid of depth.

      We always aim higher than our wings’

      From start to finish a gentle confession but the finish suggests more – aiming higher is the adventure and eageress of seeing what others tragically miss. Your pen is mightier than most, tis the gold that makes magic, sir.

    • Am more than ready to review and then offer my thoughts, sir.
      ‘It is all I can do to not paint
      everything red as fire, or yellow as
      a bobcat’s eye because the world
      might end in Ragnarök after all,
      we the people buried under sparkles
      of glacial aquamarine, bleak as dreams.’

      From start to final word, the above is a brilliant canvas, Vol
