Biography
I have written poetry since i was a young child. I recently co wrote a charity single which was launched as a CD and raised funds for a variety of resources that were used by us in schools across Swaziland, where our school's two sponsored children live. I write short stories, have completed two novels and am also a songwriter and performance poet.

BETRAYAL IT CAME UPON ME SUDDENLY TUGGING LIKE A BEGGAR AT MY SLEEVE BENEATH THE SEEMINGLY STILL CALM WATERS OF OUR LIVES THE MALIGNANT SERPENT OF DOUBT LAY WAITING COILED LIKE A SPRING IN THE DEEP, DARK RECESS OF MY COMPLACENCY I STUMBLED BLINDLY ON IN BLISSFUL IGNORANCE OF YOUR BETRAYAL KNOWLEDGE, WHEN IT CAME, WAS BITTER- SWEET BRINGING TEARFUL APOLOGIES SECOND CHANCES AND YET... AND YET... IN THE STARK, HESITANT NEWNESS OF A REKINDLED FLAME THE FANGS REMAIN EMBEDDED DISCREETLY ERODING OUR TOMORROWS WITH ACIDIC VENOM

All the poems you have put out thus far are all strong enough to warrant praise - even from the emotions alone. ?I always enjoy a good read.
Hi Yvonne - and welcome to Write Out Loud - nice to see you on here. It really is a good forum for posting new material and the feedback you get can help shape your poems for future publishing / performing.
Glad you liked 'the beast beneath the beck' - not sure about roses but I think you just click on the bud that appears beneath the post,
Looking forward to reading some more of your stuff
Ian

Yvonne,
Your poem entitled betrayal is a magnificent expression of betrayal and its consequences. I too was a victim and reading this poem brought home to me that the scars always remain.
Thank you for this
Keith
