Gregory Richard Barden Biography

Welcome to my page!

I am a man of many interests - TOO many, I think, lol - and because of that I never gave writing the attention I should have when I was young. I started writing poetry in December of 2016, and joined Poetry Soup at the same time. I have a new book "Melancholy Moon" published by Wheelsong Books UK and I'm under contract for two more, the next (much darker) before Christmas. I am also currently working on an R&B/Soul album for a major label, so, as has usually been the case, poetry does not get the time I'd like to give it ...

I like to incorporate classic styles and phrasing into a modern frame when I write poetry, and try to cover a wide range of genres, but I enjoy the darkly sensual the most, despite its limited audience. I hope you'll give my rather unusual style a chance, read a piece-or-two, and leave a comment, if you'd be so kind. I also hope you'll visit my music web site as well, (at the following address under my moniker "Bahku") - mostly (very) old recordings there, but also a snippet of the first single coming, and more new stuff soon!

Arbitrium Divisa 7 Results

** The results have been fixed and are now up in the proper location at the link below ... I have discovered that if you make the placements and go directly to "Finalize", without clicking on "Update" first, the results will not post. As I've said before, I am the least imperfect person I know, and try to do things like this on a regular basis to prove that point. Thank you for your patience and understanding - I DO apologize. Lesson learned! ;o) **

Results Are Here:

Congratulations to all who placed, and thanks to all who participated - there was only ONE N/A for not following directions, and the rest we ALL quality pieces, with small errors that separated them from the top. This was highly enjoyable for me, and you should all be very proud of your work. Blessings, Dear Poets!

Greg, I wish I could help you fix this. There's no need since you've listed the winners here. Congratulations to them all!:-) Too bad the thread where I explained the step-by-step instructions how to do so is long gone now! Unfinalize your contest and go through everything with a fine-tooth comb. You forgot to do something.

I figured it out, Sir Edward - I did NOT click on "Update" but went directly to "Finalize", assuming that would update by default - lesson learned!

Admins replied saying I didn't choose placements, which I DID, and because it didn't post I went back, un-finalized, and chose them AGAIN! Still didn't work. I checked everything else twice as well. I always do everything on paper, too, so thankfully I have hard copies. Thanks, Brother.

by the way, Greg. Your contest says "winners not chosen" and yet I got my announcment in my email box. Also, I just saw Craig's entry with a trophy next to it at his poetry page, so it WAS counted; otherwise, how could a trophy be assigned to him? That glitch is so weird!!!

I noticed that, to, Andrea , so I'm thinking people DID get credit for placements. When I finalized it DID say that "ten emails have sucessfully been sent", so I knew folks had been informed, that's why I was so surprised to see the results missing. Weird glitch. I checked every stage before the second finalization, thinking maybe I'd missed something, but I hadn't - it was all ok on my end. Something in the system. Odd.

Thank you for my lucky number 5 placement. It's so strange when this kind of thing happens to judges. I've seen it several times in the past year, with others' contests. Will be sure to read the winner list when I get the time. Happy Sunday, Greg.

Congrats on your win, Constance:-) Your title caught my attention as I'm currently at work on a poem called "On Gossamer Wings Of Hope". What a coincidence, huh? lol
