When you said you'd written a poem, I thought, "oh I don't know if I see that in his writing." But you surprised me here.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688259930865787451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428785783160866923.post-74277506828622687652010-07-12T16:45:53.703-04:002010-07-12T16:45:53.703-04:00Like all of your writing, your poetry is lovely an...Like all of your writing, your poetry is lovely and inspiring. My primary focus is on writing fiction and I hope, as we previously discussed, that you've gotten my novel, Whispers from St. Mary's Well, from amazon.com. After reading it, I'm sure you'll get copies for all the chicks in your life - chicks like mothers, sisters, gal-pals, and girlfriends or wives. Anyway, despite my love of writing fiction, I wrote my first poem when I was seven. Later, I wrote the poem, "Israeli Oxymoron" at 3 o'clock in the morning, after returning from an Interfaith Mission to Israel. It was published in a literary magazine, but I don't write poetry for publication. I write it simply to sort through my images and emotions. I like all of your writing, including your poetry. I look forward to hearing from you about my novel, and someday, I'll share the poem I wrote when I was seven with you, because I like getting a giggle, and it's a silly little ditty.
