Bloomsday

Never wanted to become a writer
Uncertain about what I could be
Life then changed once pain inspired
Experience confronted and leveled me

Signals from my heart afire
Brooded lost and feigned desire
Bound by lines myself enslaved
Figured I’d write or go insane

Beautiful words transform complaint
A novel approach began each day
Anyway, I’ve come to embrace
Gave in finally, dared to create

An empty canvas clears the mind
Look to the future, hope to find
One’s past can never be erased
Yes to art! this life! our fate!

Authors Who Dared to Think & Write Boldly

Of all the books written
At which tradition
Judgmentally scoffed
Transformed future visions
From the artists they taught!

I stand by Ulysses
Swann’s Way
John Milton’s Areopagitica
The humor of Mark Twain

There is quite a long list
(even Hemingway & T.S., Virginia Woolf…)
I encourage everyone to visit
John Kremer’s link for the Self-Publishing Hall of Fame
This creative and socially conscious legacy
Truly blew me away!

I feel most honored to state proudly
My literary heroes have paved the way!
Authors who dared to think & write boldly
They did not accept standard commercial change
