Timothy Hicks

(Click for Poet Info...)

My name is Timothy Hicks, and I've been writing for 5 years now, since I was 13. My main hobbies include writing, playing my piano, origami and bicycling.

I'm a bit OCD about some things and some would refer to me as a nervous pacer. I like to do outdoor activities, but at the same enjoy my alone time where I can sit and write. I'm a very avid reader and enjoy several different genres: horror, science-fiction, fantasy, and mysteries such as Sherlock Holmes.

I've had several different jobs including shakerboarder, pizza-make and cotton candy maker-and-distributor.

I like to think of myself as someone that can fit into almost any crowd and I always try to stay on the bright side of things. I swear very little and hardly ever get mad at people. I believe spreading smiles is a much better practice than sharing negativity...

Timothy Hicks Poems

From Constipated Pelicans To Lavender Recessions

Blog Posted by Timothy Hicks: 4/7/2016 2:29:00 AM

Yup! It's official.

We poets are a pretty insane group (insanely awesome that is!)

I was very much impressed by the variety I saw. From the hilarious to the elegant -- from the short and concise to the elaborately descriptive. You guys are all awesome and thanks so much for participating in my contest!

I actually went against the plans I orginally set out, and added 10 more slots on my list, because 1: there was a lot of good entries, and this was a fun contest, and 2: This will be my last contest this month, as I'm still getting situated for my move ... but I'll start back up again next month, as I still got some ideas.

There were two entries that didn't make it to my list because of a misinterpretation of what the bird was in the photo (a pelican not a stork) ... but I appreciated their creativity and imagination nonetheless, so I will feature them here:

speedy delivery … the baby is safe – so I come down to earth.

Hemingway's short story, baby shoes sale, never worn,, If only that stork called

Thanks again everyone!

Thanks for featuring the poem - I knew I wouldn't place as I realised from reading other poems that I had the wrong bird but I have to go with my muse. Congrats to the winners:-) hugs Jan xx

On the plus side you MAY end up being a clever re-writer of classic tales, with that "alternative ending" to Hemingway! :)
