My Story

Listen to poem:
Who will listen to my story? It's not a tale of great defeat nor one of fame, nor one of glory -- and I won't pretend that it's complete. I've time to spend, still, on this earth and things to say until I go. I won't begin before my birth or dwell too long on friend and foe. I won't recount the passing years or bore with lists of groundless fears. As I review what I've just said, I doubt that any who have read up to this point my minor rhyme will want to waste too much more time while I expose my life's excess, when all they need is to address the short list of the poems I write to post upon this useful site: visit poetrysoup.com for you to see much of what you'd wish to learn of me.

Nice piece. We are alive to tell our story and others must appreciate it no matter what.

Leo, our lives should not be centered on the internet. Granted, it is convenient to have the voices of poets heard on websites which exist primarily for them. It is a matter of balance within our lives.
