Author has written 34 stories for Religion, Life, General, Song, Nature, and General. I'm trying my hand at novel writing. I'm working on two, though I may abandon one of them. The one that's up right now is The Hospital, and is very much a philosophical drama with a bit of action. It's more for the culturally-minded, socially-critical crowd, and is very different from my poetry. I like where it's going tho, but I don't have much time to add to it, so bear with me. For anyone interested in my poetry... awesome, thanks. I appreciate that you're reading it. It's here for others to experience, I'm not too concerned with praise or abuse. I like to talk about the meanings within poetry, so share yours with me if you'd like to talk about it. Otherwise, you can tell me what you think if you'd like, just do your thing. To get a feel for how I think, I suggest reading the four-part poem series starting with Individual. | |||||||||
