I started writing poetry in the mid 70s. I couldnt play guitar or sing (the nuns kicked my out of the choirsaid I sounded like a bleating goat). So I figured poetry would help with the chicks. But then I found that I liked poetry and putting down my thoughts on paper, it helped me keep my inner demons at bay. So write I did. Then I joined the navy and got married, had children and the writing was put on the shelf. I wasnt until I divorced and the kids were grown, that I found my inspiration again and started putting pen to paper (well type to computer). As I looked through this conglomeration of poems, I could see a pattern taking shapethe pattern of random purpose. Many of these poems were written for lovers, friends, family but mostly for me. And many years passed from early works in my teens to more recent works that may be less cynicalBut whatever the case, whether funny, romantic, political or dark they are all written from the heart and from the experiences of a middle-aged hippie As you read these poems please remember that Poets write not from wisdom but from inspiration CB Fairchild I hope you enjoy my rambling thoughts as much as I enjoyed writing them. PEACE
