Imprisoned Adulthood Poem by Richard Wlodarski

When you reach my age, it sometimes feels like that. I think that in Kerouac's case, he felt like that most of the time! A tragic life that produced some of the world's greatest literature and poetry. Thank God that he chose not to pursue his football aspirations!

2) I'll need it even more should I be accepted into the writer residency program of The Kerouac Project of Orlando, Florida. I've been praying and sending out positive energy into the universe.

Thank you so very much, Rose Marie! Your very positive and insightful comments are continuing to inspire and motivate me. I need that impetus to continue with this series that means so very much to me.
