RUSSELL SIVEY Update - Gregory Richard Barden's Blog

About Gregory Richard Barden
(Show Details...)
Bloggers Photo

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 am 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, (though I plan to change that in the future, and write a book-or-two, a sci-fi novel and an autobiography) ...

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!

www.bahku.com

Thanks for stopping by my page - blessings!

RUSSELL SIVEY Update

Blog Posted:3/26/2018 6:24:00 AM

To ALL -

Just a quick update on our dear friend -

Russell's back is healing well and he's improving daily, however he will not be back on Poetry Soup much until May at the earliest, and he wanted me to share that with everyone. He has three more weeks of his college course and then will start on his thesis, (which will require him writing poetry, and we all know how he can't resist heaping praise on the rest of us - that is his nature). I have missed him as I'm sure most everyone has, but we'll be "seeing" him again soon, and he's doing great! He gives his love, blessings and warm wishes to everyone!

Thanks!

Greg B
