Write On, Bias Oswell

Bias Oswell writes
Of an aching heart
Stinging from years
Of childhood when
He felt unwanted,
Alone, placed in
Foster homes and
Sometimes forgotten.

Bias Oswell found
Himself in poetry
Writing about times
When he was lost
But now is here,
A talented young
Man so deserving
Of being recognized.

Write on,
Bias Oswell!

I googled the name from your poem Milt and a link brought me back to his page here at The Soup. I must add that I often read the new poems or sometimes the unread ones via the PS link and come across some brilliant pieces of poetry.

Please do, Tom. We really need to encourage all of our young poets. If we don't, I'm afraid when us old f**ts are gone, poetry will fall by the wayside, replaced by those computer games the young folks constantly play.

Milt, I wondered who Bias was until I found his poems here at The Soup. His poems and your poem as an appreciation in response to his writings both belong under the file "Poignant & Brilliant" Cheers - Gary

Thanks so much for your kind and thoughtful comment. Had you run across his name somewhere else? I just found his poems in the new poems today. I was really touched by the poignancy of them. He writes so well.
