My Poetry 1

Not always easy to write down the word
Expressing the thought you want to be heard
So I write poetry in a sing-song way
Using simple words when I got to say
What I feel in my heart or think in my head
And it usually begins with something I've said
Maybe a witty phrase, or oft a catchy line
Words to make you think, but only if they're mine.
John B. Caddell
January 4, 1992


 Please feel free to peruse the following collection of poetry, written by John. He began writing poetry sometime around 1984, after his first committed relationship came to an end. None of it was really any good at first, but it did prove to be an excellent means of therapy to mend the pains of a broken heart. Most notable from this early era is SNAILS. 1984 marked the beginning of an on-going tradition, when John began making his own Christmas cards with his photography and writing a poem as a Christmas message. They are collected by many people who have managed to stay on his list!
 In 1990, John got divorced, and began writing poetry some more. Seems like he needs some trauma in his life to make him write. Anyways, enjoy what you read while you have a look at the thoughts and emotions of  John Caddell. These are all contained in
4 volumes of his self-published book, Insights to a Mind, Vols. 1-4, a handmade artwork containing his photography and poetry. Only this year did John begin to combine his photography and poetry into artworks. A few of the poems are 'blends' as are all of the Haiku Art. Hope you like.
Just remember, you might have to think!

1998
