Welcome. You have discovered "Catchpenny," a collection of my writings. Here you will find my poetry, prose, essays, and writings by others either about me or that have inspired me. This is a place for me to post things so I can see how I've grown, as well as to get feedback from readers. If you would like to comment on any of the stories, there will be a commenting section at the end of each piece. Both praise and criticism is welcome and encouraged. I am always looking for ways in which I can improve my art. I am by far more strong as a visual artist than a literary one, but I do love to write, especially when my subject is somthing I'm passionant about. You will find mostly poetry because that is what I write the most and what I feel like I am strongest at, but you will find a nice collection of essays, too. Be sure to read the authours I have listed under inspiration -- they are a lot better than I am. No, really. I won't link to anyone unless I truly think they are good. Please give me my due respect by leaving my works here unless you get my prior permission to post it elsewhere, and if you do post it give me due credit. I also want to apologise ahead of time for anything that anyone finds offensive on this site. I do write about some very controversial subjects. My intention is not to offend but to express in hopes that people will have a better understanding of each other. Special thanks to Paint Shop Pro, dictionary.com, Sean, and gettyimages. Will that said, on with the site. part of the feuchsia project
