I deem myself, a writer
Of simple words
Simplifying my thoughts
Through my pen
So all are able to read
And comprehend
What I am attempting
To convey
Without referrals
To spell checks nor dictionaries.
I learned from a master
Not to plagiarize
Nor waste
My time with Shakespearian
Expressions,
Of the English old.
Leaving readers baffled
Pondering the contents of my thoughts
So therefore
I
wish to render on to you
My most valued humble thoughts
In the simplicity
That I am presently accustom
To compose.
But don’t get carried away
Within your reviews and comments
Cut this brother some slack
Be gentle.
William, you are so right with this one, what you write, you own, and no two people think a like, and no two people have the same memories or comprehensions of a topic...each writer see's through their eyes, and writes what they see. Very enjoyable & I liked it a lot!
I agree totally with your poem and you are a poet of your time, our time. Excellent pen William, waves of love }}}}}}}}}}}} Barbara

And those are the reasons why I truly appreciate, value and love your poetry, William. You keep it real and in a style that is comprehensible to all readers without the need of consulting a dictionary to get the full effect of what you are conveying. I do appreciate being challenged by learning new words, but, if its not used in my daily vocabulary, then forget it ... The poem won't have a lasting impression on me ... Awesome writings as always! hugs - Tiana

Personally I love your simple style. But I also appreciate other styles because this world is built on variety, a spice of life. Keep writing as your heart dictates. That's what I do. Victor
I like feathering back and forth, as a challenge to myself and those who thirst for new words and long to never have the old become extinct...I write one way...and then there are days I go the other way, like you, William, and pull out what we keep inside, until the poet holds the pen...and spills in ink wells from his heart, the soul and all that he dares...
Excellent write...thouroughly enjoyed!
Love and Peace~

Readers get nothing or little from poetry they can't understand. When I read I want to go with the flow and not have to stop to consult the dictionary. It's hard to touch the reader's emotions if they are baffled by your words. Good poem, and thoughts William.
Oh the thingy about poetry is to say what you like in which every way your Muse allows you to....way to go my friend....oh I do have to spell check or no one would understand me...tee-hee!!
Write your heart out.....and this slave will follow thee..passionat-A-leeee!!

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
