Dear Poetry enthusiasts,

I just set up a meetup poetry and prose website. I encourage you to become a member of the Meetup Poetry and Prose Group.  I'll be listing events on that website instead of my regular emailings so bookmark the website if you want to keep informed.  If you'd like to post an event, or workshop that is Poetry oriented please contact me and I'll post it on the meetup site.

More info and to become a member of the group;

UNAUTHORIZED AUTOBIOGRAPHY

I was born

And then I died

And in between

I always tried

I lived for love

And loved to live

I gave whatever

I had to give

I took a wife

Who cut me loose

Said I was 

A silly goose

I tried again

And found a wife

Who's the darling 

Of my life

I rode away

To join the war

But couldn't stand

The things I saw

I went to schools

And learned in books

Politicians

All are crooks

Had a daughter

Then one more

O Lord, I wish

That we had four

I traveled here

And all around

On weary roads

On dusty ground

I dove right through

The ocean blue

And found a world

That was brand new

To everyone

I met I spoke

And listened well

To certain folk

I searched each eye

And every mind

And still I search 

And still I find

And still I write

My poem of life

Of laughter, joy

Of struggle, strife

And still I live

Upon a ledge

Relaxing on

The knife's sharp edge

I was born

And then I died

And in between

I always tried.

Directions to Paul's from Santa Fe:

• Take Highway 285 North.  Get off at the first Tesuque exit #168 which says "Tesuque North CR73." Go (about 2 1/2 miles) through Tesuque past the Tesuque Village Market, El Nido and the Post Office.
• Then turn right on Route 592 and go 3 1/2 miles to the stop sign at the top of the hill. 
• Turn left at the stop sign (this is still Route 592) and go down 1 mile into the Chupadero valley.
• At the green street sign turn left on Camino Chupadero (CR78). Go another .9 (nine tenths) of  a mile.  On the left you'll see an old plank wood fence (not a coyote fence), then four white mailboxes at end of fence marked 92 ABC. 
• Slow down, the driveway is hidden.
• Go left immediately after the mailboxes, down the paved driveway. 
• At the bottom, take a sharp right onto the dirt driveway.  You have arrived!
