A Little Prosem

One of my favorite poems written on my break while writing for telephone on-hold ads. (Yeah, I know, LAME...but it paid the bills). At least my creative juices were flowing ;) I think it could use some more work...let me know what you think!

AGAIN

Hallowed virtues you hold not
Like arms hold heaven
Large and lean

Your smiles stab me in the heart
Thrusting through me
So swift and clean

And still I come
Embrace you tight
Blind to fury
Deaf to pain

A sincere soul you have not
You smile again

I slowly bleed




Take me to the 21st Century

I'm starting a blog. I don't know much about them nor have read that many, but I want to get back into writing and figured this is a good way to get the ol' creative juices trickling (at least!). I mostly write prose and have a commercial writing past but would really like to try my hand at a novel.

As this is my very first blog, I will divulge a little information about myself. I am a stay at home mother of 3 boys - 8, 4 and 2. I have a degree in radio TV arts from NAIT and have worked briefly in radio/tv/media as a copywriter/producer/announcer/traffic clerk. I live in Alberta, Canada and most of my days consist of damage control on the homefront with quick visits throughout the day to vftw. I think parenting is THEE hardest job in the world as it's touch and go...you never quit learning and will most definitely make mistakes in the process...but life isn't just black and white and parenting is as individual as you are. So I'm writing my book on parenting as I go along.

I know very little when it comes to all the different forms of internet communication. In fact, the first forum I joined was Vote For The Worst...that's right....I didn't even think about lurking...I was all like "I wanna comment on this cool site I just found" and so I jumped in without testing the waters. Lucky for me, it wasn't all that bad and once I started looking around the site I felt this anger build up in me over media manipulation. I knew I was in the right place and was readily welcomed when I posted my epiphany. Now in saying I've never joined a forum before should also give you insight on how little I know about posting pics, links, chopping, internet-ese etc....so please bare with me while I slowly immerse myself into the 21st century.

I will try and write at least every other day and some posts may just be some weird random thought or prose, but please feel free to comment and thanks for reading!
