The Poetry of Brian McLaughlin

Tuesday, January 15, 2013

The voice is held,

the pen is stilled,

the night will not soon pass.

My heart it pounds

while tears abound

as time finds its impasse.

Brian McLaughlin: Folks always seem to want a profile. They want to know who you are for some reason. So that makes me wonder, what about me is special enough to interesting to someone else. Here I am an old retired guy who at 63 years young writing poetry and now opinion pieces once in a while. Now the poetry that's fun. The opinion pieces, that's another story. That stuff can get you in trouble. I really don't go looking get into politics, religion and stuff, but at times, that stuff seems to find me. Is that the curse you receive when you all of a sudden start writing? Anyway, grew up in the northeast, spent some time in the service and settled in the midwest. Now you know where I came from, where I've been and where I have come to. Ok, you already know that I said that I don't care a whole lot about getting into politics or religion. What I'd rather get into is the pantry and put something together to eat, that's right, I cook and love the end product of that activity. The other item high on my list of likes is golf. Now I'm not very good, bogey golfer I am, but I love the game. Golf courses can be some of the most beautiful and peaceful places on earth.
