Author Reading: Poetry

in #authorreading7 years ago (edited)


I started writing poetry as a cheat of sorts; I could write a compact story very quickly. My sister Debbie is the poet in the family. I do my best. She writes beautiful, heartfelt prose that makes you think. She was the one that explained Robert Frost's "Two Roads" poem to me so that I understood it was about his decision not to go to war. I thought it had to do with walking in the forest.

Anyway, in this Author Reading, I recite some of my favorites poems and explain why I wrote them.

It's brilliant how you can get inspiration from mundane family events to produce such beautiful and creative pieces of writing.
You've made my day :)
