A Requiem
I hear through our tears
a litany of twisted betrayal,
your smooth wet cheek
flushed pink—salt tears
on crumpled cotton sheets.
Candle lit shadows three
A requiem vigil for two.

"Heart's rescue plan " by @Tigger Kaz
"i think a harder look at images; distilling them as it were, could benefit this piece. sometimes the musicality disappears i so me word choices.. still some nice images and enjoyable read." -

"Seduction ever rife with explicitly sexual..." by @Jane A. Rug
"I will read this poem again and probably a few more times. First impression is that it is random dictionary words to look intelligent. If it is about erotic writing it is the least erotic thing i have read. Perhaps it i…" -

"My Last Rhyme" by @1738mary0miller
"I agree with Geezer. the cadence is off by longer lines and strained rhymes. it feels like a hallmark at first but veers off to real relationships, which i like. i like that tension. try to be more concise." -

About Me
About me
I have always been a writer, in that I dabbled, but it has only been since I retired that I have begun to dedicate myself to creative writing. in general. I have a very old BA in English lit but believe me I have forgotten most of what i learned. At this time I don't know a metaphor from a split infinitive. I basically write what comes to my mind and then I read and rewrite. My poems are for the most part Imagistic. I don't right with theme in mind. I'm not attempting to explore weighty philosophical, moral and ethical, or psychological issues. I leave interpretation and or enjoyment up to the reader. In July I am enrolled in a four day workshop for fiction so I am busy putting my portfolio together. I may not participate a lot to begin with but i will in the near future. This is exactly the kind of group I have been looking for.
Thanks for reading thi long bio
