I hear the distant thunder... and know the storm is drawing nigh. I stand out in the open... with no protection from the sky. I see lightening on the horizen... and it is useless now to run. I cling to the nearest anchor... until the fury of the storm is done. As the rain falls from the heavens... I'm ashamed of where I've been. And if you're only seeking shelter... I wonder -- Is it still a sin? "That man has shown himself great who has never grieved in evil days and never bewailed his destiny." --Seneca |

Wow. Your writing so far has been impressive in my opinion.  Would you mind my asking where in Tennessee you are? I used to live there, but it was when I was younger. e-mail me if you prefer not to put it here. Great writing!Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Temptress -- Thank you so much for your glowing remarks. No one knows that I write and this is the only feedback I receive. I live in the Tri-Cities, about 45 minutes from Virginia. Dawn Eclipse -- Thank you so much for taking the time to read my work when there are so many talented poets here.
