Poetic imPRESSions

My life is one poetic journey. If I am not reading or writing poetry, I simply live it. To me the experience of poetry should be such - to breathe it, create it, and receive it from poems and lives that are thus poetic.

Returning 'home' to the Café after being gone for far too long. My child is still an only offspring but now in their early teens. And due to this a new adventure begins. It is also a period of discovery as to how I have grown or changed as a writer. I am now, of late, orphaned of a father. On the 3rd of April, dad succumbed to his third major stroke. He was 80. In some circles that is young while in others, superlatively ancient. It seems at this point that I have returned to this watering hole of poetry during a major shift in life circumstances. We shall see where this road leads.

The big thing in my life these days is that I am a first time dad. So please indulge me and excuse me if I fly off on that tangent. So I'm trying to hyper-speed being a dad as well.

Please enjoy the poems and other writes featured here. And should you get the urge to comment or discuss something, I would be most happy to engage you in conversation. I believe that feedback is vital in our growth and development as persons and writers.
