The reason my poetic ink flows is simple. I write to inform, to inspire, to move, to amuse, to explore the terra incognita, to enter the dark room of my soul and open up the windows for sunlight to come in. I leave the doors wide open for readers to walk in. I'm driven by an inexplicable interior mechanism, an unsatiable existential curiosity about the human condition, about life in general. Love and nature help fuel my creativity. I'm an explorer I open my soul's window to let the light in.

Edward, I liked the line "enter the dark room of my soul and open up the windows / for sunlight to come in". You touched on several of the great motivators for writing poetry, curiosity being my fave. Well done, and congratulations on the win, my friend ~ John
