If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

6 poems·Since October 2015

I grew up in the Piney Woods of East Texas down a red dirt road which felt like in the middle of no where as a kid. My summers were spent walking creek banks through the forest and swimming in ponds. We did not have cable or satellite so I spent most of my time in the outdoors which I feel played a big role in my ability to open up and connect with nature. I prefer to write outdoors, my mind tends to run freely with deeper and more meaningful thoughts. As Ive grown older I seem to make more and more excuses as to why I am too busy to write, which is a bad thing because its an outlet for me. List of my favorite Poets: Charles Bukowski, Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Edgar Allen Poe, and many more.

To Be One With

October 17, 2015

The hardwoods cry in color this time of year

As the sun sets an owls call from within the deep hollow can be heard clear

There is no path to follow, not one less traveled by, no direction to steer

Only dense undergrowth that provides shelter for the sly

The sly fox whose yellow eyes scan the forest floor waiting for the passer by

Leaves rattle as the wind arrives

The squirrels tucker away in their nests for the night and bid their goodbye
