Danny Velasquez Biography

Mine is a writing style chronicling daily events considered ordinary by many, even mundane. Yet, it is in those everyday life events that I find beauty, humor, love, meaning, enjoyment, and sometimes magic in their place in the universe and their relationships to me. I am a simple person who has learned to appreciate each day and the opportunities afforded me as a gift, so I write about those experiences with enthusiasm and passion. I’ve recently found my voice as a Poet and am perusing a degree in creative writing. I hope the reader enjoys reading these poems as much as I enjoy writing them.)

The Best Poem Of Danny Velasquez

Passion's Call

Sometimes, before my eyes open,
I lie still somewhere between

awake and sleep with similes
metaphors and alliteration
weaving through
my minds
gray matter
like sea-run salmon
swimming upstream
into clear fertile rivers
to spawn.

Prepared
for occasions like this,
I leave a pen with notebook
lying open on the nightstand
beneath the glow
of my reading lamp.

At other times
inspiration speaks,
quietly, unexpected,
at the diner over breakfast:
coffee, short stack,
eggs over easy.
Like a lover, hiding
among the shadows,
throwing pebbles
at my window.
If ignored, she fades

into darkness,
and all my passion escapes.
