Author has written 47 stories for General, Friendship, Life, Love, War, General, Sci-Fi, Essay, and Play. Alex Dawson 18 years old Daydream believer Muse frequently on vacation And now for some inspiring words... We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless--of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse." That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be? - Keating (Dead Poets Society), Peter Weir These are my verses. Enjoy them please :) | |||||||
