Enjoy.

Thanks for your kind comments regarding my music. I have a passion both for music and for writing. (I guess you could say I'm schizophrenic.) Right now I'm concentrating on writing (I haven't touched a keyboard in a year.) But next year I hope to focus a little more on music.
I enjoy your prose and poetry. You have a great gift!
--John



Likewise Richard--Thank you for the gracious invite.


The poetic eloquence that some of U.S. President Barack Obama’s critics viewed as a major weakness in 2008 is now widely acknowledge in 2009 as a principle strength. Couple that with the controversy that overboiled in regard to poet Elizabeth Alexander’s inauguraton poem, Praise Song for the Day, and it would appear that poetry is taking on a new and elevated status in the global cultural village. That having been said, it was my own honor recently to enjoy an interview chat with poet, author, and playwright Vanessa Richardson. Please allow me to invite you to enjoy it at this url: http://thecertainones.blogspot.com/20...
Also, I haven’t had a chance to chat with inauguraton poet Elizabeth Alexander just yet but you can find my review of book, Body of Life, right here–– url: http://authorsden.com/visit/viewartic...

Looking for pt/ft help nationwide

As the author of several novels, including “Margaret and David: A Love Story,” and the brand new memoir “Misdemeanors and Felonies,” Louisiana writer Jerry Bolton is someone who knows more than a little about worthwhile literature. Therefore, his review of the novel Christmas When Music Almost Killed the World is one not to be missed at:

Starry
starry night
paint your palette blue and grey
look out on a summer's day
with eyes that know the
darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils
catch the breeze and the winter chills
in colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they did not know how
perhaps they'll listen now.
Starry
starry night
flaming flo'rs that brightly blaze
swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
Vincent's eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue
morning fields of amber grain
weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist's
loving hand.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
perhaps they'll listen now.
For they could not love you
but still your love was true
and when no hope was left in sight on that starry
starry night.
You took your life
as lovers often do;
But I could have told you
Vincent
this world was never
meant for one
as beautiful as you.
