Good Morning to you all,
It is a pleasure to have found the Poetry Forum.
I am glad to be here. I have been writing most of my life although there was a long period when I did not write. I was too busy living life, working, getting married, getting divorced, getting married again and of course getting divorced again and raising my children to have time to write, what a mistake that was (the not writing part).
I started writing again about seven years ago to try to get back in touch with myself and to move away from the emasculated man that i had become. A professional career and success can do that to a guy over time. One trades one thing for the other mostly because of the desire to succeed, to become "Somebody". In the process of that I had lost touch with my feelings, my hopes and my inner self and I am sure I missed a lot.
After my second divorce I was driven to write again just to deal with the pain, disappointment and general sadness that I was faced with everyday.
The writing worked. The actual process of placing words on paper proved cathartic and healing for me again. I was raised in a rough environment and I used to write as a young boy to take me to places that I could not or did not want to go. It helped me to deal with the chaos that was my life back then and it worked again some 40 years later.
I am glad to be on board with you all and anxious to explore your words and talents too.
Thank you for the privilege of being a part of your lives also.
