Invitation

	If you are a dreamer, come in.
	If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
	A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
	If you're a pretender come sit by my fire
	For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
	  Come in!
	  Come in!
			-Shel Silverstein

Ah, Poetry. I'll admit it now. I'm a poetry freak. I read it, I write it, I collect it, I quote it. But we all write poetry. What? You don't believe it? Well I know of at least one person who agrees with me:

Anyways, what this is, is a chance for me to share some of my poetry with you, and should you feel so inclined, for you to share some of yours with me. Just eMail it to me and I'll post it up. For now, here's a couple of my favorite poems as well as some of my own.
