Timothy Hicks Biography

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...

March of the Footle - Concluded

Blog Posted by Timothy Hicks: 3/10/2016 8:32:00 PM

Well I judged my first contest.

I hope everyone had fun participating, as I HAD fun reading them. It was difficult for me to judge because there was a lot of really good ones ... and some that were fairly equal in quality. Hope my placements and judgements made sense ...

Congrats!

-Tim

On reflection Tim, I will approach Tim Ryerson for permission to include one of his unique 'same rhyme' variation in my footle blog (The larcenous bird) rgds Brian

Tim,your contest confirms the versatility of both the form and the PS poets enthusiasm thereof. (Especially liked the offerings of Carrie/Barbara/Jan and SO).

Your form has blossomed into many shades and textures, Brian. I thought it interesting, Ryerson's entry with using the same rhymes for the footles, but carrying different meanings. And Loo's idea of rhyming the titles, too. I was impressed by quite a few of them really :)
