Good Poetry is the poetry that speaks directly to your soul; for me it has a lot to do with that moment when I come across lines that though new, are vaguely familiar and somehow seem to belong to me.
I feel my poems are far from perfect; I cannot begin to compare what I do with the works of veteran poets like Tennyson, Shakespeare, Dickinson, Brown, Frost, Kipling, among a host of others. My lines are as yet, young and unrefined. But I write from the soul; I try to distill my emotions so that my words remain true to my feelings. I try to get into words the taste, texture and shape of my emotions: fear, anger, elation, joy, uncertainty, loneliness, serenity. Everything that I feel.
So, to all my readers, welcome to Dee's world, my world, seen through the murky lenses of my soul's eyes....
