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...

Thanks to everyone who participated in my contest!

 

I had many tasty morsels to enjoy :)

 

And to be honest, I really had no idea my contest would fill up in just two days!! Crazy.

 

To Julia Ward who Placed 4th, I was going to make a comment on your entry, but I guess you disabled commenting ... so I guess I'll just say it here...

 

rainwater falls

into a flower pot

small frog

 

"You really took to heart what I said about exalting simplicity, as this is the epitome of simple. It's these kind of poems that don't have an immediate grandeur to them, but they have an enduring quality to them. The more you read it, the more you appreciate it ... I imagine a frog exiting his flower pot home due to the rain. Great subtext."

 

Hope everyone had fun!

 

Cheers.

 

-Tim

My gosh. I missed this contest. Had a busy couple of days with house showings. I do like Julia's poem about the little frog. Will check out the winners. SuZ

Hello Julia: We had emerald green frogs in Australia that were amazing when it rained. I pictured one of those

Tim, it was a great contest, and although you did not select my poem, I thank you for the inspiration to write a beautiful haiku about hummingbirds that I will treasure, congratulations to all your winners ~
