Songs of the Wind

I've been writing poetry on and off since I was thirteen years old. I remember the first poem I wrote. I was thirteen years old, walking down the road with my oldest sister. She walked ahead of me and I didn't feel like catching up. I looked at her way up the road and a poem came to me. This is what it was.

I walk alone.
I stand alone.
I don't want any one
If no body wants me.

Looking at it now I realize how sad it was for somebody so young to feel that way. But it was the start to some, in my opinion, pretty darn good poems.
I have written in the neighborhood of 100 poems which I have in a collection copyrighted under the title of "Songs of The Wind"
All my poems are based one way or another on my lives events. Some which I don't mind telling you have really sucked.
I see my poems as my children. For the most part they have been brought out of turmoil and pain. Sort of like giving birth. You have the labor pains then you give birth.
I spent 18 years in the "Christian church" which has also inspired some of my poetry.
I'd like to share a few of my poems and a little bit about the story behind them in this lens. I do hope you will enjoy them.

All the images the poems are on are my own they are either photo's I've taken or paintings I've done based on the poems.
Hope you enjoy them all.

If you find some of the poems on the lens difficult to read please click on them. It will take you directly to my zazzle page where this photos are featured. Sorry but I am a bit leery of having copyrighted material appear on here where it is easy to copy.
I do apologize for the inconvenience.
If you would like to purchase a copy of any of these without going through zazzle please contact me I do have a paypal account I can accept payment through. I sell them in an 8x10 that look really nice framed on the wall.
