  • Does anyone know if David has a website of his own? I've been looking to no avail!

  • Putting you on my favorites my man. Like your info. I'm 56 been writing poetry since the 70's. Taking my first class in poetry written in May. lola late bloomer) Just looking for something I can do that I enjoy doing. I'll be retiring at 62, From a job in heavy industry. I'm a old man in a young mans job, And my body is starting to show it. Been middle class poor all my life. Don't need to be rich. Just happy, and try to make a few bucks while I'm at it. Thanks again.

  • That's why you gotta love what you do @G2Kali. Meaning, you gotta do it for self-gratification rather than financial wants/needs/security.

  • Dang...so pessimistic

  • This is precisely the problem. So sad that it seems like in music and writing the 'boss' cares nothing about what you would like to write. Its what they think you should be writing. Self publish. Then others don't have to approve your work. Peace.
