Silence_Rains's profile

I am an artist, for the most part, but tend to dabble in the affairs of poetry, and writing in general as a means to escape the harsh realities of the world… or, at times, to visit them entirely. I’m 27 and have been writing poetry since I was little. I read to friends but am too shy to stand up in front of a crowd to read. So that’s why I’m here. To stand up in front of a silent audience and get feedback from afar. I’ve never been able to write ‘happy’ poetry, or ‘love’ poetry, because it always comes out depressing and somewhat gruesome. So, I stick to the cold and lonely spectrum. I’m not a “cold and lonely” person at all, in fact, I have two beautiful baby boys that are my driving force to become a writer.

So, I stick to the cold and lonely spectrum. I’m not a “cold and lonely” person at all, in fact, I have two beautiful baby boys that are my driving force to become a writer. I also intend on writing a pagan children’s book that teaches the child at an early age. Now, I am fully aware that there are people who DO NOT agree with this, and are against paganism. Good for you. I don’t condemn you for your faith, don’t condemn me for mine. Just because I don’t believe the same things as you doesn’t mean I’m not a good person. So, with all of that said, good luck to all aspiring writers/poets/and dreamers. We are the creators, so let us create… Oh, and on another note… I HATE playing the critic to poetry. Poetry is from the soul. Who are we to judge anyones soul? It is neither right, nor wrong. Even “the dog sat on a frog” could have some otherworldly representation behind it. So, if I have offended ANYONE’s poetry, please know that I didn’t mean it. :D If it’s right to you, then that’s all that matters.
