Poetry

Jan 7th, 2014

Today prompt for BCOF is "Tell us what kind of poetry appeals to you? Why? Which poet is your favorite? If you do not enjoy reading poetry why?"

It depends on my mood. I used to write poetry all of the time, and I've had about 30 of them published. However, I realized that I'm not any good at poetry. Just check out my port, and you'll know what I mean.

I do like the following poets.

1. Johnny Cash
2. June Carter Cash
3. Waylon Jennings
4. Kris Kristofferson
5. Edgar Allen Poe
6. Leonard Cohen

Now, I know what you are thinking! Those people aren't poets (except for Poe), but I beg to differ. To me, songwriters are indeed poets. They use rhyme, rhythm, and meter to write and compose music. Also, Cohen is a published poet who has written several books of poetry.

News In My World!

I know it's been a long time since I've written. I've been busy from July until this week. I've been traveling around helping some friends of mine sell t-shirts and selling Country Gourmet Home products.

Here are the places I went to in the last several months.

1. Philidelphia, MS (Neshoba County fair)
2. Biloxi, MS (wholesale show)
3. Tunica, MS (wholesale show)
4. Padukah (not sure how to spell it) KY (Chillin N Grillin)
5. Tupelo MS (Celebration Village)
6. Meridian MS (Frank Cochran center/arts and crafts fair)
7. Birmingham, AL (Christmas Village)
8. Jackson, MS (Handworks)
9. Back to Meridian MS to the Bonita Lakes Mall from Black Friday until Christmas Eve

Then from Dec 30th until Jan 5th, I was in Gatlinburg, TN for a well-deserved vacation with my friends. I'm planning on writing more about the trip in future blog entries.

Bye for now!
