Via the new social-networking site I joined, Wattpad, I've posted some excerpts from two of my books, Seasons Come, People Grow and The Kind-Hearted Smartass. I received a comment on one of my poems ("One Voice") today and it is as follows:
“I read all the three poems you posted but especially liked “One Voice”. You have beautifully portrayed the helplessness and agony of the person behind the voice and the apathy of the world as a flowing poetry. It actually compels the reader to sit back and retrospect. I applaud your talent!”
"One Voice"
A whisper in the distance,
From a far off place,
Unknown is the source,
Unknown is the time and place,
A voice in the distance,
Unable to make it out,
Only a few others notice,
The rest go on and walk off,
Screaming with all his might,
Unable to get the words out,
Feeling that all is hopeless,
Feeling that all is lost,
I scream for the world to hear me,
But only one voice am I,
Caught in a crowd of billions,
The whisper in the distance becoming a longing cry.
This book and my three others can be viewed and/or purchased at the following site:
