A poet of the "inspirational" school, where I can't write anything unless I'm
sufficiently moved. I'll probably never become famous this way, but I'm not
doing it for fame. I'm doing it because I *like* doing it.
In my opinion, a poem is words woven together in such a way that the reader of your words empathizes with you--they feel what you were feeling, see what you were seeing, know exactly how it felt to be you at that moment.
That said, here's some of mine. Hopefully they live up to my own definition of poetry, but if not, I still like them.I hope you enjoy them as well.
