The artists' call lights a fire within,
My scribbling fueled by some spontaneous combustion,
The artists' call opens these dreamy eyes,
As my consciousness touches down on realities,
The artists' call so blessed and cursed,
Left me passions and ideas that can never be nursed,
The artists' call stopped my life,
Put me at odds with the world and in perpetual strife,
The artists' call started this sentence,
And I will forever write in penance...

Hello and welcome to my humble abode, my writer's workshop. Here you will find a fair deal of poetry, do not be alarmed. I will try not to bore you, for here is a collection of my favorite poems, here are my thoughts and fantasies, born from conversations and impressions, dreams and sometimes just the simple things. I enjoy writing these poems as much as I see that you are interested in reading them. So thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy. -Dan L. Biggin
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling.
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven,
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.
-W.Shakespeare
