I was inspired to write poetry after seeing the movie 'Dr. Zhivago', I wrote my first poem in 1970. Influenced by the poetry of William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and Edgar Allan Poe; I am one of the few writers in the era of modern poetry who writes in the form I call 'rhythm and rhyme'.
After waiting more than 30 years for 'THE GIFT' of
poetry to arrive, I sat down at the age of 54 and
wrote for the first time with the ability to say
what I wished to say in the way I had long wished
to say it. In the next 18 months or so I wrote
nearly 180 poems.
Today, I am still an unknown and may be called 'an emerging ... more »

Acceptance Of Fate
Of all the lessons learned in life
By every creed in turn,
Acceptance is the costliest
Mankind has had to learn.
The price is often self-esteem,
And life must yield as well.
It also charges interest,
On that, I shall not dwell.
But just by way of mentioning,
Though bitter is defeat;
Recovery sure is sweeter,
The sooner it's complete.
Acceptance of each circumstance,
Is one great truth of life.
But often comes at quite a cost,
Much suffering and strife.

Your words speak to me. Thank you for them.
I don't know if you know, but we message each other before because 20 year old girl critized your poem called the oak tree lol. Anyways I read some of your poems and you still moved me with emotions and thoughts. Continue to write your piece to capture the audience sir. Keep it up! ! ! !

He is one of the best poet I've ever read....Read his work and you'll never get disappointed.
Great write.. his poems are thoughtful, yet simple.. he understands the power of simplicity.. he is a teacher to me.
Greenwolfe, you are very good! ! I read your 'PAIN' poem. Wow...... That's all I can say. Thank goodness you have a lot of poems posted. I can just go through each one. Keep it up! !
He is more than a great poet to me....i consider him as a friend
I can really say the you are among my favorite poets on PoemHunter.You are a true Master Of The Rhyme and you capture emotions so strongly in your words-I can actually hear a heart break or sense an epiphany-tens and many stars! ! ! ! !
I just want to say that your work inspires me to want to write just to your level, I find you are an excellent writer.I enjoyed it very much.I am new to writing as I just discovered I have a little talent a few months ago.I found my small talent on myspace.Look me up we can be friends on myspace Myrtle Thomas
I am not trying to be cruel or mean though I undoubtedly might, but you really need to work on your sound. I wrote things like this when I was in the 5th grade, though admittedly, a little less verbose and often with not so much subject matter at my disposal, but quite similar in simplicity. I enjoy your subject matter, but unless your audience is an assembly of the world's 4th graders, please spice it up a little, at least vary your line structure a little. You say you've read Shakespeare and Dickinson, but you're too uniform. Remember that on of the best parts of writing formal poetry, is breaking form to add import or delay understanding from line to line. Without variation, people might (as I admittedly had to fight doing out of respect to you) skip to the end or stop reading entirely. However, as a poet you have every right to continue in any way you wish. I just couldn't continue reading your work without at least voicing this. I really do enjoy the content.
A fan (albeit, a critical one)
