My first blog post!

Here I am.  I have joined the little community of bloggers in this big wide world.

  I've never really been a huge writer...I've tried to write short stories, but failed.  However, I have found that I truly enjoy writing poems...mostly freestyle free verse poems .  So on the topic of poems, I thought that I would go ahead and share with you one of my most recent freestyle free verse poems. 

The Shadow of the Past is Gone

With every step I took,  another one just like it clicked on the stone cobble way 

Looking behind me something vanished, it looked so much like me...well the old me

Had I continued on that path I walked away from 

Then when I looked back again it stood there making me take a long hard look

And making me feel scared, but also happy at the same time

Here was a person that was haunting me with my past

And making me see what I would have been like had I not changed
What makes me happy is that I made a choice and left what would have been 

As I walked towards it, it turned and vanished into the dark cold night 

And then I turned around and walked the opposite way

Glad that the shadow of the past had vanished

That's where it belongs and that's where I want it to stay

The happy shadows of life
