Biography
I am Heart of Lead. A student of many, teacher of few. I am a storyteller and artist who builds on more imagination than experience. I am most inspired by Kipling's poem "If" and especially the quote, "Meet with Truimph and Disaster and treat those two imposters just the same." I have no idea where I'm going but you're welcome to join me on this journey.

Cold and stormy are her eyes, Light is her darting tongue. And I break when she cries, Forever old, forever young. She dances like a grey fairy, Void of colour, full of light. My heart becomes the grave to bury A silver knife hidden from sight. She flits and flies and steals A kiss from the lips of all, Prances away in heavy heels She is my tragic downfall.

Thank you for reading "Rumors of my Demise".
just a fun poem but with a grain of truth.
I am sorry I had to burden you with it.
Take a pill and get on with your life.

Love your sample poem. If this is the intro, I want the whole book! ?
Thank you so much, Mae! Yes it's an extraordinary poem and the rhyming pattern I tend to follow the most. I actually have that quote tattooed on my shoulder, I kid you not.

From poet's heads
to seeing eye
hard to believe
we so contrive
We write despite
a reason why
the poem part truth
and part a lie.
