A little about Morgan
So you want to know a little more about me. Want to know what makes my mind work, how I got here, why I am the way I am (not that I’m sure I can really explain that one) and possibly, where I’m going. I think my initial response should be, are you ABSOLUTELY SURE? The inner workings of my psyche are not for the faint hearted…it’s kinda scary/unpredictable in here, really…
but as you insist….
My journey into the world of words and writing began round about the tender age of 10, although according to my family I have always been a chatterbox. If there was not an attentive ear accessible, I would frequently take up a plush toy of one sort or another and proceed to set it adrift upon an endless sea of stories, songs and rhymes. Subsequently, when I turned 10 I wrote my very first start-to-finish, illustrations-included, story. Mind you, it was nothing to “write home about”; just a tale about several kids living in the 28th century and their adventures in space. Very Trekkie of me, to be sure ( since I’ve been a Trekkie literally since before I was born…but that is yet another post)
It was also around this time that I stood at my bedroom window one fair summer night, listening to crickets and the calls of the resident screech owl (that invariably sent my sister into fits worthy of a Turrets diagnosis), and penned (or more precisely, penciled) my first poem. That was it. The light switched on. The engine started running. The thoroughbred left the starting blocks. (The insane little clown in my head started muttering.) The Candle was Lit, and the words have been pouring forth ever since.
So what have I done with this God Given talent? (for honestly, I believe that’s what it is.) Well, I’ve written and published poetry, I’ve scribed counted lyrics for songs as yet unsung, I’ve written, typed or spoken uncountable numbers of words for sagas spanning topics from horses to Arabian Princes; from fair, Britannic maids to Light Loving and Dark Fey, and from Regency Period drama to futuristic, post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi. (Have I mentioned that I’m eclectic?) I’ve written sermons for our church and newsletters for work; if it was available to be written, I probably wrote it at one time or another.
Morgan is an extremely talented poet!
This is one of my favorite poems by her:
Shimmering Show
She Pours out her Love for All to See,
Blushing Beneath the Silvered Skies,
Dancing in Ethereal, Glistening Streaks,
Upon the Luminous Hush of Night.
Spilling Her Incandescent Caress,
Like a Bride Bedecked in Shimmering Show,
Ever Faithful in her Course, Unless,
Dark Masquerade Transforms her Radiant Glow.
Then, Behold, her Tender Touch
In Crimson Hue, turns Ruddy and Bold,
Intoxicating, like drinking Wine too much,
Yet Fleeting, like Youth before growing old.
Yet when Her Shimmering Light Spreads Wide
Upon the Breathless, Waiting Night,
‘Tis Loveliness Unfettered which Presides,
While we Stare in Wonder at the Enthralling Sight.

Hey Everybody!

His name is Anthonie and he’s a very talented, young poet who’s poetry is written from the soul.

Every week I want to share an amazing blogger with you all, an idea I stole from my pal Shauny. (mwahaha), so you can check out their blogs and maybe make some new friends!
All of these bloggers have amazed me with their art, kind heart, friendship and skills.
You ready? Here we go!
Meet Richard!

A little about Richard
Hello everyone. Thank you for stopping by for a look. I hope you enjoy some of the poetry and stories on the site. I shall try to post something new here every day so that there is always something fresh for you to see.
As for me, what can I say? I was a company director in retail until finally plucking up the courage to show people the writing I had spent years shyly stashing away. Joining Harper Collins’ Autonomy site was the jolt I needed to realize people liked what I wrote. I am currently one month away from achieving a gold medal there, (Geez! I hope I haven’t just jinxed it.)
I love reading, writing, all sport, and walking through beautiful scenery. If I lived in view of a mountain with a stream running through the bottom of my garden I would probably never again surface to the outside world.
I recently resigned from my job so that I could spend the rest of my time on the writing I love. Regardless of if I make a success of it I will never have made a better decision in my life.
Thanks for reading this, Richard.
Richard is an amazing poet and writes like a maniac! Seriously, this guy? Even I can’t keep up with him! 🙂
This is one of my favorite poems by Richard
Hush, my darling, don’t you cry
And evil things will pass you by.
For not an hair will evil harm
With fallen angel at your arm.
To watch you cry in blessed sleep
Still cuts at me though not so deep.
My duty now to care for you
In previous ways I couldn’t do.
To drift in draughts from windowsill
In shades of grey I wander still,
Below the clouds that line your dreams
This angel’s with you so it seems.
And though I cannot touch your skin,
In cursed death I feel I win,
For limbo price I gladly pay
To be with you for all your days.

To me Richard is an amazing blogger because I adore his poetry and he has made me smile countless times! Thank you for being you Richard! This is for you.
Lots of Love

Don’t you miss me?
Don’t you miss me?
Don’t you miss me at all?
Do you ever think of me?
Of all the fun we had…
Cheering each other up when we were feeling bad
Don’t you miss me?
Don’t you miss me at all?
Remember all the secrets we shared?
All the laughter and every tear…
Are those memories you hold dear?
Don’t you miss me?
Don’t you miss me at all?
Why didn’t you kept your promise?
I kept mine…
But don’t worry, I will be fine
Don’t you miss me?
Don’t you miss me at all?
You really hurt me, you know…
And I despite you for that
Throwing away everything we ever had
Don’t you miss me?
Don’t you miss me at all?
I hate you for what you did!
Not having the courage to say it to my face…
You are a coward and a disgrace!
Don’t you miss me?
Don’t you miss me at all?
Do you know what’s the worst of it?
I can’t forgive you for what you did!
But deep down, where no one can see…
I still love you, as stupid as that may be
Don’t you miss me?
Don’t you miss me at all
Because I do
I really miss you…
I dedicate this post to a lovely friend of mine
