I sense you put forth a lot of feelings in your poems. The more I read them, the more I look forward to the next one you write. The picture with this one puts that extra touch in the ending part. Have you thought of making a book with your poems? I know I would be one interested enough to buy one. Who doesn't love/like a great poem?
I appreciate that, @pixiehunter. This is one of my earlier pieces, written in the early 90's. I try to incapsulate my feelings into each one. Each poem has a special meaning to me and when I re-read them it's like reliving the exact moment in my life I was going through when I originally wrote them. They're like time capsules for me.
I partner with a local artist to produce handmade poetry chapbooks a couple times per year. We currently have copies of two different chapbooks in stock. I do a limited print run of around 100 for each one, each is numbered and autographed, and they'll never be reprinted in that format. If you're interested please email me at - [email protected] and I"ll send you details.
Also, if you sign up for my author newsletter at - http://www.ericvancewalton.net you'll be on a mailing list to be notified of future book launches. If you click the "poetry" page of my site you can see what the chapbooks look like. Thank you!
That is awesome and thank you so much for the links. I understand the feeling that reading a previous written poem can bring. That is also why I wish I had kept every poem I had written. I only have one that I wrote as an adolescent. Poems are a good way to express feeling, good or bad.
