A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing.

I'm currently reading A Poetry Handbook by Mary Oliver. When I read the statement below, I decided to share it with you all.
Poetry is a river.; many voices travel in it; poem after poem moves along in the exciting
crests and falls of the river waves. None is timeless; each arrives in a historical context;
almost everything, in the end passes. But the desire to make a poem, and the world's
willingness to receive it-indeed the world's need of it-these never pass.

Color Change
As you may have noticed, I have changd th design of my blog. Pink, carnation, and rose are a few of my favorite colors. They are bright, soft, and express what I believe represents spring.

Dry Periods Have Led That Expanding My Writing Life
I have had dry periods in my writing life. I can't say why that is but it does happen. Sometimes it's good to step back and see where I am.
I took up poetry writing a year and a half ago. I felt that my short stories, essays and commetaries had grown stale. A lot of imagination? Maybe. I saw it as a chance to branch out by tackling another genre. What it has done is expand my writing. I found that some of my short stories can be written as poems and/or prose. I find that the reverse is also true . What has resulted is that my writing has more depth and quality to it. I'm venturing into emotional settings that I was reluctant to go into. There's more personality and emotions rather than just mere details and simple story telling.
I have had a long interest in playwriting. I have writing a few short plays in the past. Now I'm pursuing a full length play. Tackling classics such as Dante's Inferno, the Greek and Latin poems and plays, and modern poetry and essays have reinvigored to try my hand. I just have to tackle one thing at a time because my mind can be like a runaway train.
