Say "Hi" in this Thread

[wasellajam]

Hello! I'm a 55 yr old man who has loved music,  art and poetry for many years. I should be accomplished at all of these by now. Haha,  I'm not.  I'm abstaining from youtube for Lent, funny thing happens when you quit a nasty addiction,  you get back into old passions. I began playing bass again and started reading poetry again.  Bought a stack of new poetry books off ebay. Sadly I haven't written a darn thing - yet.  Which brings me here. A long time ago I wrote a poem about my Father. If you are familiar with Van Goghs "Starry Night," you  may have noticed the tiny Church in the town beneath Vincent's radiant, swirling night sky. I wrote the poem imagining I was a boy gazing out the window of that Church, sitting in Vincents world,gazing into Vincent's sky! 
I still have an active imagination. 
Just needs a good jump-start.

Nice to be here.

Hi! Happy to have you here, 55 is a great age to restart, I also spent a long time not writing, then it came back in a rush. I've had so much fun on this site and learned so many things I had no idea I didn't know. I hope you enjoy it too, feel free to poke around and jump on in. -ella
