The Dragon
creature of fire and smoke
burning all

The Butterfly
creature of flowers and sun
pollinating all
where ever it goes
it was the butterfly
who taught the dragon
how to fly
it was the dragon
who taught the butterfly
how to survive

About Me
I have been at Neopoet a year and a half before the crash.
I have learn so much that I can not put it into words (as he thinks how ironic being Neopoet is about words) I have served as a moderator in the chat room, splash pool, served on the AEC but had to quit because of the demand of my work. I have enjoyed every moment I've been here and have had some great debates with the poets here, but it has never been personal. I have made a lot of friends here over the years and look forward to making more.
I live in NYC the home of Neopoet. the City with the most art cultured people, in my opinion. I have been all over the world on Uncle Sam dime.
I applaud Neopoet and may it continue to strive.
