    • Hello fellow poets. I am originally from a very small very remote town in the woods of northern Maine.The town had a population of 560 souls.I was brought up( in what some would consider to be) abject poverty.If I was I never knew it. Simply due to the fact that everyone around me was in the same "boat".I have been writing from my teens. I enjoy the woods to this day. I hunt fish and hike whenever possible.And through the years I've learned that there is a God and that I'm not it. "SLIM"

    "Don't want to leave"

     I don't want to leave here bitter.
    I don't want to leave here sad.
    I don't want to leave regretting
    Things that I never had.

    I don't want to leave here discouraged.
    I don't want to leave here despaired.
    I don't want to leave here angry.
    I don't want to leave here scared.

    I don't want to leave here lonely.
    I don't want to leave behind
    Things I should have attended
    When still I had the time.

    I don't want to leave forgotten.
    I don't want to leave disgraced.
    I don't want to leave transgressions.
    I could have easily erased.

    I want to leave a better man
    Than I was just yesterday.
    I want to leave fond memories
    That live on and never sway.

    I want to leave serenity
    to those I leave behind.
    I want to leave them lovingly
    With hope and peace of mind.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
