The Window to The World on Life of A Poet Questions:
Can you tell us about yourself?
I'm a misguided misanthrope in the middle of life musing on the minutiae of mediocrity.
I live in America, NY state to be exact.
Do you think being part of a poetry community contributes to your creative writing?
Sometimes with prompts and of course support of fellow writers
Started with song lyrics and then started reading some classics and I was hooked. Sometimes I write little stories which are also posted on my site.
I have revisited and edited poems years after they were written, it's a tough call sometimes to change what originally poured out but we often learn more as we go along and can tweak something good into something great by changing only a few words.
if you like metered writing yes, if not, not so much. It makes me think of this quote: Poetry is painting with words, painting is poetry without words.

Why poetry? Do you write fiction too?

I really haven't been reading any blogs lately but have many links on my blog to close friends and favorites.
How do you know when a poem is done? your own experiences need to be shared here...
It says what it needs to say.
How do you decide when a poem is "good"? Do you redo your own
poems after they’re posted? it could be poem someone else written...

Do you think music and poetry are related? Why?
if you like metered writing yes, if not, not so much. It makes me think of this quote: Poetry is painting with words, painting is poetry without words.
What issues are closed to your heart? Women’s rights, child abuses, etc.…name one…
My grandson and my own obscurity ;-)
