Hello,
Just a note in hopes of sharing the work and art, making friends and rubbing hearts.
Been lurking in the AH for a time.
The writing and writers around here, prose writers and poets, seem to have, overall, a higher level of quality than many of the poetry and literature sites I've checked out. And clearly the erotic is welcomed and elevated, which is a new area of poetry for me.
I just submitted 3 of my poems (non erotic). I would love feedback, as I am an amateur. I grow through challenge, and I want to grow as a writer and a man, and, of course, flattery will get you everywhere.
I love poetry that marries Heaven and Earth,
that reveals the shine and glow of Spirit
in the darkness and in conventional places,
that grasps for that silent suspension between worlds,
that gasp between breaths, where I am held
on the precarious edge of the star pricked void,
suffering the longing to let go and fall away and
the fear of leaving my attachment
to this wicked and beautiful mess of love
under my feet.
Poets I love?
If I could gather
Wild breath from the bones of Stafford, Rilke, Goethe,
Vallejo, Novalis, and Lorca's Spaniards ---
Ecstatic fire from the hearts of Eckhart, Rumi, Hafiz,
Lawrence, Kabir, and the author of the Gnostic John ---
Mad water from the souls of Dickinson, Ahkmatova, Mirabai,
Levertov, Oliver and Olds ---
Mythic earth from the graves of Blake, Morrison, Joyce,
Holderlin, Hesiod, and Knight ---
Fierce laughter from the eyes of Heraclitus, Basho, Issa,
Ignatow, Po, and Snyder ---
O, I would build me a world!
I'm a husband and father.
I also love really bad and obtuse jokes and puns (Two eggs are in a hot pan. One says to the other, "Ah! We're being scrambled!" The other replies, "Oh my god, a talking egg!"). I love horror, hard boiled detective and literary fiction. I love mythology, psychology and sacred scripture of any origin. I love sex and see it as a hot, fun and earthly path to spiritual and sacred communion. I love martial arts, hunting, being with my wife and children, expensive beer and cheap wine. I really love the blues, blues-rooted rock, spirituals and gospel.
I have been called intelligent, funny, creative, playful, stubborn, strong, willful, determined, sexy, ugly, arrogant, generous, kind, sweet, and a stick in the mud. I am always happy to add to my adjective collection.
That's my ragged little bag of introduction.
I'd love the nickel tour of the poet's corner if anyone is willing.
Thanks.
