Hello fellow art enthusiasts. How cool is this site? I found it through myspace and knew it was for me. So, I am 29 years old and having even hit my stride. Most importantly I am a father to my son, Harper. He is 8 and I am grooming him to be just like me without the monkeys. I’m a closet musician. I’ve been playing and writing for about 9 years now. Unfortunately I don’t live in Athens, Ga or Nashville. There isn’t a scene here and I’m not Bright Eyes.

I am an avid reader as well. My tastes range from Kerouac, Burroughs and Kesey too Jonathan Letham and Michael Chabon. Reading is like breathing to me.

Here I am, excited and eager. Let us encourage and support one another in our passions. Whatever they may be.

Don't look at me with that question in your eye You don't really believe free of you I could ever be When your always at the top of my thoughts at the top lookin down With your calm cool demeanor reason with a rabid dog Other girls come and go strange men you may know but none of them matter Like the fortune teller said we won't always share a bed but our hearts even apart beat as one Souls like coal we may have but with pressure and time Someday like a diamond it'll shine Someday like a diam...

You could have been a dancer if you'd ever wanted too With a body like that Kinda like how back when I was young I could have been anything I was so strong and proud Then I seen your eyes they glowin' blue like lightning Connecting the earth to the sky From that point on as the years rolled on and on I'd talk about it and you'd feel it Yeah as the years rolled on and on you'd talk about it and I'd feel it Cuz you and me we both love to roll like stones From one side of the room to the other G...

The first stanza(?or verse?) reminded me of how instinctual and natural love is. As you fall into love everything is clear. It goes on to imply in the second verse that love requires willful submission which in turn strengthens the bond. The next several verses brought to my mind the idea that if you have to fight or force your feelings it is no longer healthy but so hard to let go of. I had a palatable sense of loss, blame and regret. Very well written. The end seems to be a plea. Someone is...
Poetry / Poison the Well
I know this is poetry and that license with definitions is granted but I thought that I would point out that a cacophony is basically defined by dissonance. A discordant cacophony it like a free freebie or a normal regular. I really liked the way these lines affected me. I thought it was a great was to convey group madness. Dissonance in thought, mind, sound Mouths agape as they gather round Mob mentality overrides logic Overall I thought that your poem was kind of flighty. The bulk of it see...
Sci Fi & Fantasy / Some Other Eden - Chapter 1
I think that your a great writer. As I read I didn't notice any grammar or punctuation errors and more importantly the story flowed well. I enjoyed the first exchange between the nurse and Karpathian. I might suggest expanding on that a little if your intention is for him to be something of a smartass as the story progresses. "No, I'm still asleep" comes of more angry than sarcastic. Maybe something like this would convey the sarcasm better. "No, I'm definetly sleeping and you are the girl of...
