Hello and welcome to my poetry blog! Let me introduce myself here, my nickname (FamaSemperVivat) is based on the Latin term for fame lasts forever (I think) from a contest I hosted on All Poetry almost a year ago.
If I'm wrong as to this please tell me the true meaning, (I suck at Latin)
Now how did I start writing, you might ask.. Well, I'll try to tell you. I started writing creatively since elementary school, I'm also an avid reader, (I've even read the backs of cereal boxes at the breakfast table).
What's brought me back to writing? Well, about 4 years ago now I became injured and my mobility has become limited, so I turned to the computer and the internet as a way to continue to communicate with the outside world, since it's easier to get around on the internet than it is for me to get around my house.
And, I love to write. I started out with a MySpace page and created a blog there about how American Jobs were moving overseas at an alarming rate back in 2005. I then joined Facebook, now I twitter (with my c-span junkies every morning) Then I found The Writer's Forum, The Critical Poet, Echoes of My Soul Poetry Forum and then I found All Poetry where I really felt that I have grown as a poet and a writer.
I then began my first blog here on Google "At Home In Springport" when the health care reform was being considered in Washington, DC back in 2009/2010 to voice my views and opinions. Then I started another blog for poets and writers of my own called "Poets In Training" with an offshoot of that for our youngest ones called "Young Poets Corner" I also like to design graphics and backgrounds so I've joined a couple of graphic design groups. I'll probably share some of my backgrounds and tags as I get them developed here as well.
Ok, I've said enough, enjoy my poetry and please comment, let me know what you like, don't like suggest improvements. Oh and also if I've got a poem in a category that it just doesn't fit with, please tell me. I'm struggling to figure out exactly where a poem belongs. I'm open to any and all ideas.
You can also visit my Poets In Training blog and my Young Poet's Corner blog (managed by a young man named SuperFirst (Adrian Dayne) you should read some of his poetry, for a pre-teen he's got a way with words that will blow your mind.
