PORCELAIN PORCUPINE: POETRY (Book 2 Of The ASHEN Blue)Words: 1320

I am MORE than just a writer of erotica, street lit, romance, vampires, paranormal, non-fiction and other genres. I write ALL GENRES, but POETRY is my first love and the first genre I ever wrote when I was 8 years old.

My writing journey started with Langston Hughes, Robert Frost and Sara Teasdale poetry at the age of 8 in the 3rd grade, Pine-Villa Elementary. Miami, Florida (Goulds).

This is my second collection of poetry on Wattpad. THE ASHEN BLUE is the first. This is an experimental piece from my collection of poetry I've written over the past 30 years. Each poem will begin with a letter from the alphabet and sustain words from said letter until the letter Z.

I  was thirty five years old when I penned this. And now I share them, my Copyrighted poetry with all of you.

Unless you're using pictures and stick figures to express, writing is as much about the emotions and feelings as it is about the vocabulary. Without the vocabulary, it remains thoughts, not writing. What's a game of baseball without a bat?

Someone told me

That writing is about feelings

Not about the lexicon

But without vocabulary

Even under the ghost light

In a smoky bar on

Open mic night

A writer can't express

Their feelings

Without the use of words.

In the beginning,

That's all there was...
