I was thinking about writing a poetry book
this would be the intro
I don't care if it sonds conceeded


I write now
for those starved of
letters and words
for those who
search desparatly
for inteligent life
only to drown in their futility.

this small verse
as it cuts through
a sea of ignorance
and the intelectual void
that these waters are,
this poem is the mast-head
for the massive gallion
that is to follow.

Things get hazy
Reach for a twinkie now you're pushing up daisies?
Do you know where you're gonna go?

Not conceited
Not bad
But good good good
and good luck with the book!

thanx guys, this is the type of feedback I need to encourage the book. I really was afraid that the forward(intro)would sound as if I were blowing my own horn.
