I am a big fan of many types of poetry and monologues. Started learning one a week as a 2011 New Years Resolution and currently know 165 or so. Thought I'd try my hand at writing some too - just managed 11 so far, but would be great to see some feedback or hear from you
I would also be interested to know if anyone has written on the same themes or using the same title - would be great to read them and see what other minds can come up with!
I can be found online at www.monologuedave.co.uk
I used to start by saying sorry
For my choice of verse

Brave was our fight, just to survive
To hunt, to gather, then farm.
Our numbers so small, survival so special,
Don't press pause now, or you'll cause us harm.

There's Blackberry, Blueberry,
Northern, Bog and simple Bilberry
Lowbush, Highbush and Mountain Cranberry,
Chokeberry, Dewberry, Elderberry, Guavaberry
