Hi! Welcome to my homepage!

TOPIC PAGES

This section is designed to   become an open forum for writers. Any writer with thoughts to share on these or other topics, please feel free to E - Mail them to me. It is hoped that this will become an area of open exchange that will grow through the input of those with a love for the Art.

Throughout these pages, I will repeatedly refer to a poem entitled "The Dance". This poor poem has the distinction of being scrutinized, analyzed, dissected, eviscerated, and in general being subject to all manner of abuse by a host of poets and editors. The information gained through this mutilation will become the soul of that which is to come. The poem itself is here posted for reference.

 

The Dance

Expectation and Desire
Guests of Honor
at the masquerade
Waltz, Entwined
Undifferentiated
Undefined
Until the midnight
tolling
of Truth
