(This) Writers Prologue

So many stories needing to be told,
Tough to choose either poetic or prose;
Fiction is fact gently seeded with lies,
Poetry challenges the mind to rationalize.
My life both good and bad I recall,
My Lady, I write her on a pedestal;
So I leave only on this side of the grave,
Written words and rhymes that I freely gave.
© 2009 R Lee Cline

Retired, married, father of two sons, and grandfather to six....My working years were mainly in the printing industry in which the last position I held was production manager. Writing was always a passion that started in the early 1970's in which I wrote a number of song lyrics. I later started writing a little poetry but never got real serious about it until 4 years ago. I'm open to trying a number of styles and formats but I especially like telling a story or making a particular  point. I enjoy reading poems and stories of others and appreciate their feedback on my work. Have a great day.....

Author's Note: Poem based on Matt. 14:1-11(KJV). The meter and rhyme were a challenge. I often wondered what manner of dance would prompt losing one's head.....

Thank you for becoming a fan. I am also a great lover of nature that I rarely ever write poetry without referring to mother nature every now and then. Thoroughly pleased you enjoyed my poems and glad to have something in common.
