Gray Eyes Poetry: I Outside

Introduction

Publishing my poetry on a blog is really a last ditch effort to put it out there. I've been writing short stories and poetry since I learned how to write, and am well aware that poetry is about as lucrative as homelessness. Rather than search endlessly for a literary agent who wants to sell my poetry, I'm here, putting it in a public place.

I estimate my total number of poems to be somewhere over one thousand, however I only have about thirty that are "finished". I'm not big on revision, which has always been a problem with my writing. As a result, it is often gritty and rough around the edges...kind of like me.

My work is basically image-based, focusing on the beautiful imagery of every day surroundings and objects. I find that the simplest of objects are often connected to a network of complicated emotions. Of course, I also have a large number of fairly typical love poems, nearly all of which illustrate the plight of the girl not chosen.

While I have taken poetry writing classes and have studied poetry for years, I do not claim to be good. However, I don't make any excuses for what I write. It is my passion, my art, and in essence, it is the very definition of me. I welcome your comments and critiques.
