on writing poetry..
I can tell you to
write from the heart
and soul..tap into
the steady stream
of conscious thought
don't be afraid of
the thoughts that
emerge..
Think of a time
in your life that
strikes a remarkable
impression on your
psyche..whether it
be joyful,painful..
happy or sad..
Be yourself..don't
try to be anyone
but you..
I like to have
in my writing..
a gentle subtext..
a certain meaning
between the lines..
Yes,dark sometimes..
cryptic and deep..
I like to take my
reader to the deep
end of the pool..
Paint you a picture
with words that play
inside your mind..
Sometimes playful..
sometimes you get
to look inside
my heart..other
times you probably
wonder what's this
guy talking about..
Either way..I find
writing to be very
cathartic indeed..
I hope you all
get to enjoy life..
don't let it pass
you by..write a
poem..bake a cake..
take your dog for
a walk..call your
Mom on the phone..
give your woman
a great big hug..
start a punk rock
band..express yourself..
be an individual..
Sincerely yours,
Richard Allen Weber..
