Hi, everyone! ! Just a little information about myself. From childhood I have always loved literature, especially poetry; my taste is quite eclectic ranging from the old classics to modern day poets. I decided to start writing a few years ago and found it a wonderful medium for recording my thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. In some ways it became a form a therapy, thoughts and emotions that I found hard to express verbally were a lot easier to put down on paper. Creatively it also gives one a platform to let loose their imagination and create a world of fantasy; an escape from reality if you will. I have never studied the Art of Poetry so therefore have no style or recognisable formation style, Hopefully you will enjoy my writing, I hope so. If you do like my poems please join my page on Facebook. https: //www.facebook.com/barbara.nixon.poems.
Thank you for reading. x
Light extinguished, glimmer defeated,
spread across my heart, a sacred scar
the oxygen of time a cliched healer,
locked in a cage my joy hath retreated.

Magician Of My Yesterday
I have witnessed thine every colour
hues that blend and merge
...
The colour orange
has become the new black
graces the pavements
adorns stark cul de sacs.
...
Amethyst,
Oh purple blaze
like a garden of violets
in Summer's sweet haze
