Me, Myself and Poetry

    Hello all,

    My name is Levi, and I've been writing for about a year or so on and off. I am a self-taught poet and began writing because of someone who I was very close to as you can see in my first lots of poems.
    I believe jelously had it's role to play in that.. but so did many other things sch as me moving due to family problems...
    I'm actually glad that they happened to some extent as if they didn't take place I would not be writing poetry today.
    I believe I have produced some fine peices of work all having a different meaning, yet most of my work now days seems to relate more to the dark side of life and more mysticaly unexplained thoughts from within a chararcter lost within confusion. I tend to write love poems from time to time, poems about friends experences and merely just other events which may have nothing to do with a feeling that I am feeling...

    I write because I want to not because I need to as such I think there is a reason behind most of my work (not trying to sound cocky... But then again everyone's work be it good, bad, terrible or beautiful has it's meaning)

    I reckon that with more "training" as such I will become much better at my ability to write, as does everyone with help (I was so bad a poetry it was an imbaressment to say I used to write like it.. I thank love for it's up's and downs as if it wasen't for them I never would have awoken the poet within, lol)

    I really can't believe how posh written this article has been, because I never talk like this unless I am in one of my philosophical moods... It appears I am in one at the moment...

    Really I am just a laid back guy doing normal things.. Don't get me wrong most of the time I am acting like a partially idiot that most people like or just being the norm lol more or less the idiot ha..

    The point of this read is really to ask if you would please read some of my poems and leave comments as to how I can improve/change/ideas... on what you think I can do..

    Thank you for reading it is much appreciated...
