There's Always Judgement, So Why Do It?

An Brief Introduction

There’s Always Judgement So Why Do It?

Can a person really pinpoint the actual time in life they’ve become a writer. Or which of the talents they possess came first. A writer needs to first form letters. Understand how these letters form words. And while all that is happening there’s a relationship between thought and mechanics happening between the brain, the hand, the pencil, the page, the eye —then comes the ideas. A visual artist learns with the same mechanics to produce and image on a page. I remember an image I drew when I was young, in crayon, on the wall, behind my bedroom door. I was probably six years old, and what a grand canvas to draw a cowboy riding a horse. I imagine it as a very cave like drawing, but lucid. The door provided a perfect cover, at least I thought. I remember I was going to be in trouble for doing so, but the impulse to tell a story with image could not be held back. Am I a visual artist or am I a writer? I could do both, but drawing skills came easier to me at a young age. In fact, I was still learning to form letters and not much of a reader yet, yet I could tell stories, verbal and pictorial. My mother thought I was a strange child. I didn’t play with my toys. I would take them apart and put them back together or take several pieces from one and form something new with another. I was a young mechanic, possibly an engineer, but math got in the way of that pipe dream. I‘ve made a living doing all three but haven’t answered —Why Do We It? or —Which Came First?

I can’t really answer either, the question will linger in my thoughts. There’s a feeling that just calls out and I incorporate all three into everything I do. About six years ago I began to immerse myself in poetry and will share three poems published in Blank Spaces Magazine. Written about three years ago and published recently. My writing, thus far, revolves around relationships, past times, love, and an occasional sprinkle of the automobile and of course politics creeps in. I will explore, and explore, and explore, and write.

—Welcome!

Thank you for stopping by. These where very early poems and to be honest I had forgotten that I submitted them. I don’t sub much. I like to think my writing has improved. I will continue to write on the concept of “Judgement,” and explore. My hopes are to build a community here on Substack of readers and writers who can form a bond and help each other out with writing and reading in the comments or messaging forming friendships. If this appeals to you please subscribe I truly like to meet people and writers. Feel free to comment!!! Subscription will always be free.
