We do the work , we take the hit

We work real hard, we do our bit

We try to keep our lives intact

We try to hide the truth from fact

But as the evening skys grow dark

And as the dying dog goes bark

We see the truth, the aweful truth

And that we’ve sewn, comes home to roost.

Thanks for publishing me Poesy, I really appretiate it. My name is Happy Brian, I’ve been writing poetry for many years now, but I’ve only recently had the guts to actually start sending it out. Infact the only reason I ended up here was because I began writing for the sharedlog writing project - they pay people to write. Once I’d published half a dozen easy to write no brainer articles, it seemed easier to start pushing out the material that I really wanted people to see, and that is my peotry.

Poetry is about more than just words, its expression. The way that you weave language means that you can give people more than just a description of what you are trying to say, you can infact give them an emotive sense of it. You can lead people on a journey that more than just described, it tells a good story that leaves the reader changed in some way. If you can do this, if you can touch yout reader, if only for a moment, then you have succeeded as a writer. This is what I aim and hope to do. This is my goal as a poet. I’m no professional, but I hope that my words can have some effect on people, that I can share my experiences through this the most beautiful of mediums.

I hope that you enjoyed reading this. Till I am a famous poet however, I’m going to get back to my more mundane day job trying to design these pvc banners that are going to print next week.
