I am an amateur poet. I'm an old retired guy.
I started writing about 40 years ago. A few of the poems are from back then. Most of them are only about 2 years old. My works are also on http: //WalterMarks.WordPress.com I am a Christian, therefore some of the poetry reflects those values. Some though is just for fun. Thanks for looking.

Hope's in a living future
Not just a storied past
Patchwork prairies still hold vast
Vistas sewn in peace that last
...
While looking thru my rearview
I drive where I have been
It offers such a clear view
Of where I was back then
...
I'm dying of thirst from wanting my way;
Drank deep from the well of sin in my day.
My life is now potsherds; all broken and dry;
Don’t have the moisture, to spit in their eye.
...
A slumber in the light of day
My comfort zone, tar baby's arms
In depravity I slept away
Till true love spoke Your charms
...
