In love with poetry, spellbound am I- by force, that takes me to the land of words. Beyond control, this power has its way that leads me to present my heart and soul. This overwhelming power captures me; like an addiction, I consume fine words for them to shape the thoughts within my mind; create great imagery that can be read. Most poets know this overwhelming pain of finding special words to paint a theme; this search for me becomes a magic hunt of hide and seek to capture them like prey. Consuming is this poet’s gift of pen; the task can be a tiresome marathon of hours or days, and yet, if lucky can flow out in minutes on the first clean page. This love of writing poetry runs deep; an inner urge that cannot be dispelled; as captor, captive both, my inner goal- to find some balance in completed works.
