| Crossing the Rubicon |
Author has written 27 stories for General, Life, Haiku, Religion, and Love. "A poet is an unhappy being whose heart it torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and the cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music... and then people crowd about the poet and say to him: 'Sing for us soon again.'; that is as much as to say. 'May new sufferings torment your soul.'" -Soren Kierkegaard ~~~~~ You are so silent I was formerly Fast-Talking Johnny. I'm currently Crossing the Rubicon (kudos to Julius Caesar). I've written seriously for over four years and have produced over 400 poems (some good, some... not). Some of my favorite poets include: Emily Dickinson, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Lisel Mueller, e. e. cummings, Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Bronte, Maya Angelou, and Sylvia Plath. I'm obsessed with sound and structure, so don't expect poetry that is all over the place. I write because I feel I need to. Right now I am decidedly unimpressed with FictionPress. Note: Every review I give is composed entirely of my own personal opinion. I only suggest things; what goes in a poem is up to its creator in the end. Even if I put a great deal of constructive criticism in a review, it isn't because I don't like it. I only review things that I like or that I think have potential. (& I have a confession: I don't always proofread my reviews. Oops.) If I were a verb tense, I'd be present emphatic. that God loses all composure. ~~~~~ "The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become." -Charles Du Bos | |||||||||
