P.R. Prosper Biography

I am the continuing evolution of who I was yesterday. That's a quote that I came up with a couple years ago and I think it has remained relevant to this day. I am a socially conscious person, therefore, many of my poems reflect my observations on society. I currently live in Florida, but I have traveled overseas several times and seen the subtle differences and abundance of similarities between foreign peoples and U.S. citizens. We're alike, but most of us just don't know it.
Sometimes I focus on my personal experiences, but that often feels too selfish, so I apply it to the world and see where it fits. I also try to learn something new every now and again to keep the brain elastic and make it easier to write about any subject, regardless of how meaningless or boring it may seem to me. I think that is a great exercise to broaden not only the vocabulary, but also my knowledge base. I always enjoy reading Shakespeare. I am a funny guy at heart, so it's quite likely that I'll inject a little humor into what I put down, even if it's as sarcastic as a loveless marriage.
