Kris Oberckal Biography

Over the past year or so, I have taken a big interest in poetry. Writing poems, and reading famous poets' works has become a hobby of mine. I have taken a lot of inspiration from many well known, and not so well known poets. In particular, I am fascinated by poems that tell a story, and find myself really enjoying thinking up a story and putting it in rhyme! I guess I'm not exactly sure what caused this sudden flare of artistic inspiration, but I remember rhymes and clever word combinations suddenly filling my head and eventually overwhelming me. I began to write on a regular basis, beginning with rather 'dark' and 'evil' themes, such as the Devil and death and other things that can be considered 'dark'. As I progressed however, ideas of things like nature and emotion began filling my 'pile of ideas'. So my short beginner poems gradually turned into long, planned and carefully worded works of art. I am very pleased with my ability as a 'beginner poet' (as I would call myself) since I am aware that I have much to learn about the use of words and the English language in general. I only shared my work with a few close friends so far, but now, I feel that it is time for me to share my talents with others, and embrace either their criticism or praise!)

The Best Poem Of Kris Oberckal

Someone To Talk

Its hard to find someone
friend and stranger alike
who you can really talk to

that makes you feel
your not the only one
who's walked in your shoes
for at least a day or two

Sure, there is family
and the others
but they will go along
with what pleases you
to make you feel like you belong

Its hard to find someone
friend and stranger alike
Who listens to you closely

With an interest in your thought
and a similar mind
who will believe your word blindly
who is polite, eloquent and kind

I look upon this world, eyes open
yet, its hard to find one such person
and the more I look, the less I see
someone who agrees and opposes me

Being like that, truly is a virtue
yet its hard to find such someone, its true
but You for me are one of those people
that I can really talk to
