I write about pain and suffering and going beyond it. I also write of life’s questions and human nature.
Aside from poetry, I’m an artist that has sold 80 paintings my apartment in 2003. I moved from my home town of Olympia to Las Vegas for my husband’s job and have not networked nor tried to sell any paintings. I’ve since sold another 20 acrylics without really wanting to. I have hesitated to join any gallery due to their commission requirements. I will most likely move in that direction when selling out of my home ceases. If you have myspace, please feel free to drop me a friend’s request. It may help to email me so I can screen you from any spammers. My address is www.myspace.com/donyavangogh
I love writing, it’s a way to shar…

Dear Innocence, I'm writing to tell you how much I've desperately missed you. Ever since the repeated rapes from Uncle Ricky, I've not seen you around. You were the map of my future, only you abandoned me after those terrible moments. I miss you Innocence... where'd you go? I've seen your adversaries Guilt and his brother Shame, and of course they all throw a big reunion every chance they get, and invite the whole ordeal over, such as Aunt Self-Doubt and Uncle Self-Blame. In fact, I’m at a re...

I am a Pawn on a chessboard. I have acquired the appointment of moving a square at a time, and I am fresh meat for all. I envy the Rook. I want to be able to move upon four directions like the Rook... Now I am the Rook and I've been appointed four directions to move upon. Right, Left, Back and Forth... I move. I capture! I am quite happy until I see the Bishop. I envy the Bishop. I want to be able to move upon four directions diagonally, like the Bishop... Now I am the Bishop, moving diagonal...

Drops of water locked in ice... Savory crystal's brittle cold. Hearts that weather spring-time meltings, bid ado to futures' Untold... More profound, confused members, Longing embers, stick's decay... Wooded hills replete yet senile, Still, I wash the warmth away. Blinded sights of past and present, hiding from the radiant Son... As abandoned houses: Archaic Titles, His tethered frame, and name we shun. Liquid anguish, covered meadows, puddles ignorance at my feet, and advance to chambers bou...

So, I sitteth, longly, talking to favor myself... 'Tis a common plea, of mine own world 'tis make-believe...and so begins my privy... Thinking only: I dialogue to the Glorious Best & figment a man of reluctant rest... "...And shoulds't thy decision be precise; to build thy palace absent me, then I beseesh--prithee! Let my vow e'er be!" O' vow! "I shall sitteth a good fight 'pon thy palace walls & decree, 'til thy life's heart beats 'bout me! I wilt woo all manner of creation, the stars too sh...

My own fault comes to light, each and every day and night; To say what's first on my mind, stubborn regret embraces time... Life spouts dilemma my own way, as I place blame on God's dismay. But as He allows it, resigned I'll be, as Challenge embodies passage for me... Freedom appoints on me a choice, and heeds apt ear to inner-voice... "Make final..." whispers Decision's Host, "...Of right, not wrong, make the most." Now Freedom affords, as contest begins displays of needs in discipline, when...

Excellent form... I loved reading this, then re-reading this, then only reading each line's last word! Your genius in this Villanelle is so evident. You don't miss a beat and you seem to have captured so well the subject's fear to live life. My favorite line if I must pick one is: "Ignoring the sweet dreams your heart hears call?" Actually I seem to like them all as I could relate to the subject. I once had a period where I chose to die day after day due to many past and present issues coming...
It was very difficult for me to figure out why your title for this poem is what it is. The poem would have been better suited if you maybe worked with the title more... made it something to do with the Media and allow the reader to figure out what this spectacle is. I don't know.. just throwing out my impressions. The body itself is very well written. Still it is a touchy subject that seems to lose it's burden with the use of your words... almost as if you've taken away the pain, the levity o...
The more you read this poem the deeper and more beautiful it becomes... much like slowly peeling away the paper from a gift, a surprise is sure to come... I encourage anyone reading this poem, not to just skim it or read it once.. I encourage you to really explore the options of what this poem's talking about.. Is it a simple kiss the author is speaking of? Read it again, for it could very well be the intimate moments after... 'your sweet and round'.. 'Back together by your giving'... perhaps...
Sorry, I can't find the poetry in this.... but this is only ONE person's opinion. This reminds me of something a teacher would ask their class to write about if that teacher told them they could only write a story using 40 words. I hurt saying this and I'm very very sorry... just being honest with my opinion...and it's only that, an opinion, not truth, not fact. In the Art world some artists are praised and have articles written about them for their ecclectic work consisting merely of a white...
Wow. I lost my mother not long ago to cancer. This epic poem captured the essence of what I had gone thru. The despair, the hope, the inevitability, the nostalgia of life and finally the letting go and feeling relief that your loved one will no longer feel the pain... then once again the hope of seeing them in the heavens that had so readily revealed to you it's tangibility in those moments of desperation... You are true. I cannot beleive how well you've captured that inner pleading of just o...
