I never write unless I am inspired, I have read poetry books where every poem is the same. Even famous poets have written poetry that can be sung to the same tune throughout the entire book. They sing with the same rhyme, number of paragraphs and tune as if the writer can find none other to sing or write. And after a while all that the reader reads is the same song over and over until they can endure no more and close the book.
When I read or write I like to find something new with each turn of the page. Like the dawning of a new day a new feeling, song or inspiration. The words forming a tapestry in the mind with each stroke of the pen upon the page and a new tapestry with each page turned. Alive and vibrant with a life in words they sing as songbirds in the morning, touching all that hear their melody of emotions in the dawn.
This is poetry, drawing you in as if the words are your lover’s arms. Caressing and kissing you in their touch as each emotion becomes a part of you. Every word is a step towards your heart, each paragraph the touching of minds and each poem a part of your soul.

About the Author:

|
I sometimes like to say I was born under an oriental curse, “May your life be interesting.”
Josehf is Spanish and Aramaic spelling of Joseph, however that is not why my name is spelled with a hf. My parents screwed up the spelling when I was born. When people ask me why I don’t change my name to Joseph, I tell them I don’t in order to irritate my parents. After all, Why should I change my name to fix their mistake?
An odd story goes with my name, my grandfather was Joseph Lloyd Foubert and I was named after my grandfather. When he discovered the spelling mistake, my grandfather kidnapped me and had me baptized Joseph so God would know who I was.
I write short stories and poetry for the love of writing. I started writing over thirty years ago when I was in high school, where I met my wife Mary Anne. We are the proud parents of two sons Joshua and Michael. May you enjoy reading my writing as much as I enjoyed writing it?
