when you write novels you unveil your core values this is a truism in my books I open secrets everyone does without thinking about it forbidden thoughts are yours to pen where my poetry book of love might address your essence of the light of the purist on another page a wayward angel might haunt your soul there are renegades who tread streets of no hope we who write whether poetry or tomes we put in our grit; maybe our love an impact to make a raison d'être we put forth a force to be reckoned with everyone's a writer today everybody is published today POD who says there is no God He gave us POD we attend book signings what an absolute waste of time do we think we're the front runners of avant garde I sprinkle a bit of French throughout as you can see I don't speak the language like so many but, if I sprinkle a bit of French here and there people might think more highly of me bull manure is what it means to me but still . . . I sprinkle a bit from time to time . . . hypocritically can you feel the anxiety of my convictions? I've removed the mask which hides the angel on my shoulder my angel she transcends time and the cosmos my angel whispers words and sometimes shows me the way when darkness falls she is a poem she is rhythm she is ageless a graceful she holds my hand to lead the way to a new locale words are easier she is my Muse what would I do sans my angel ©January 6, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Good morning, Victoria, hope everything is good in Virginia. Yes, you told me that you purchased "Margaret and David: A Love Story," and I thank you again for doing so, and hope you will like it. About the poem, we can unmask ourselves when we write poetry or a novel, especially a novel I think, because we can put our anxieties and hangups in the thoughts and fears of a fictional character. Some famous writer once said, "paraphrasing." If you read someones novel you will understand him far greater than if you hadn't read it. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
