I'm a simple guy who enjoys art of all forms. I write poetry/lyrics as often as I'm inspired. I play a little guitar and sing. I attempt to turn my lyrics into songs, but have not been at it for long, so I have no completed songs as of yet. Music and nature are my main source of inspiration. My style of writing is pretty simple. I don't believe in the excessive use of subtlety in poetry. Poetry is not a puzzle to be figured out or some code to be broken. I believe that it is expression and should be understood for the most part. I do realize, however, that what one person writes might have apparent meaning to the writer and none to the reader. So I guess I can't be too critical of what I don't understand.
