“Waterloo Bridge – Sunlight in the Fog” by Claude Monet
fog sits on my eyes
it obliterates truth
every place I can look
a miasma of gray
hides the blue of the sky
and the green of the sea
but I know they are there
the blue and the green
and the knowing makes
all of the difference

Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

oh, I don’t doubt you, but if I may, why? – sadness seems such an unusual craving

Sadness, anger, dissatisfaction and similar negative emotions are my biggest motivators to write. And writing to me is more important than feeling down. Its what makes me feel happy. So its like a circle of creative process for me.

I read you most recent few and I like them – as an old man I have little to offer on the expression of young love, except to say that whatever you write should always correspond to the feelings in your heart – or as poetry it will fail
