Since you are an extended family, be it on the net, it is always great to share news.
I have been and still am working on a poetry project. Over my life - so far 34 years, I've written about 300 poems or writings. Some are really good, some fair and I'm sure some are rather horrid. I have been typing these up, still have a ways to go. I'll be pairing some poetry/writings with my own personal photography/imagrey and then approaching publishing houses. I'm talking to one in the UK at the moment.
Poetry has evolved over the years and for me can take many forms of writing. These writings of mine are personal and involve myself, the people in my life and what is going on around me at the time. The writings are about very real things, that people today can relate too and though I still love Shakespear, Keates, Chaucer, Burns, Byron or whomever your choice, but I do think a more modern Maxwell might get the nod too. It does open me up for rejection but I'm willing to take that chance now.
I've come up with a couple of titles for it, but I do like " My Life Per Verse " very much.
How wonderful it is to be ambitious and not feel guilty. How wonderful to strive out to do something and not feel guilty. How wonderfu to be free free free of all that guilted me.
