Here's the deal: I usually only write poetry when I am in a state of despair (it doesn't happen often but, boy-howdy, when it does!). You ain't gonna find no hearts-and-flowers here. If you can't deal with reading such material then don't waste your time looking. Some works are darker than others but none of them are going to inspire dreams of sugarplums to dance through your head.
You may ask why I would write such depressing stuff. Simply put, it is because such moods are a legitimate part of my life. I write in order to continue breathing. I find it difficult to tell even my closest friends how I feel when I'm in that frame of mind but gimme a piece of paper (or a 'puter) and I can exorcise it...and keep on pickin' 'em up and puttin' 'em down.
Anyways, if you choose to sneak a peek in the window please be sure to e-mail me, or sign the gbook, and let me know what you think of what you read. I'm not asking for compliments...just an honest critique.
Thanks,
Steph
Update: Jan 12, 01 Finally got a few loaded (Alright!). I have so many other irons in the fire that it will be awhile before I get back here.
Please note: I'm in the process of placing graphics on the poetry pages. Some of them are a little "heavy"...please be patient while they load. The graphics are available (subject to the rules on the FX page) unless otherwise noted. Thanks ;)
