Now to the flip side… this poem (actually a Sonnet) was written less than a month ago. I actually wrote this on my birthday. I was caught up in a moment of absolute inspiration and wrote not only this poem, but several others as well.
I share this with you to prove that my ongoing affair with Poetry hasn’t ended.
Not yet at least…

I wrote this poem just over 18 years ago. I’ve been writing poetry every since I was 14, which was twenty-five years ago. It’s not something I do a lot of, but when I happen to pick up a pen and write some down, they are heartfelt, sincere and full of emotion.
I plan to write more poems in the coming months. Give me a shout if you’d like to see more poetry posted here on my blog.

This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while… and today this book is now available.
I’ve written a book of French poetry. Nope, not kidding…
Je sais que j’ai dit que je prendrais une pause de la poésie, mais je ne pouvais pas m’en empêcher…
Ce que je veux, ce dont j’ai besoin
Un jour, ce sentiment sera de retour
je vais être aimé pour qui je suis
pas pour l’homme que je pourrais être
je veux être son seul choix,
comme l’air, elle ne peut pas respirer sans.
Je ne mérite pas d’être une option ou d’une sauvegarde
Je envie d’être cette personne qui est
aimé et chéri au-dessus de tous les autres
Je suis prêt à attendre aussi longtemps qu’il le faudra
Je ne vais pas se contenter de rien de moins que parfait cette fois
Je préfère rester seul que de perdre mon temps.
Je pense sérieusement à écrire mon livre de poésie prochaine entièrement en français.
Qu’est-ce que vous en pensez?

This afternoon, after doing a little last minute tinkering … I have posted my new book of poetry online. The new book can be bought either on Smashwords in all eletronic formats or if you’re the kind who would like a real book, a paperback is available through Lulu.
Here is the cover I chose to go with:
Less than five months ago, I decided to start writing a new book of poetry. The last book I posted online for sale was as collection of poems that I mashed together like a best of rock album. This time out, every poem I wrote was brand new… I wanted this to be a book of entirely brand new poems.
Then I made things more interesting. Not only would I write new poems, but all the poems in this book would be sonnets. I would use the same rhyme scheme for each poem (abab, cdcd, efef, gg) and I wouldn’t be finished this new book until I wrote fifty (50) of them. I started this ambicious goal in early November and earlier this afternoon, I finished writing sonnet number fifty.
