This Blog is dedicated to Dr. Beth Crachiolo, now the chair of the English and Theatre Department of Berea College. Beth is truly a wonderful person, and one hell of a teacher! For whatever reason, she seems to believe in my aptitude as a writer and has made it perfectly clear, on more than one occasion, that to not write would be a waste. So I am trying to do something I've never attempted before. Starting today, April 20, 2010, I will try very hard to post at least one new poem a day for 1 year. I'm sure most of them will be utter crap, but you never know when the muse might strike. Please feel free to respond to any post at anytime, I value constructive comments.

untitled

Seduce me, fair Muse
Lay your hands upon me
Entreat my soul with your fire
Arouse my very spirit

Opulent nymph, touch me
Guide my hand to the page
Safeguard my pen fair lady
Let my words make love to the world

No longer raping the parchment
Ejaculating upon it with abandon
Making no sense, having no purpose
Oh how I mistreated the sensibility of language

I am reformed, sweet goddess
Transformed by your gentle hand
So whisper to me, dear Siren
Breathe life into creation.
