I Am
Wally
Loving, caring, shy and smart?
Son of Ana and Frank
A lover of music, poetry and art
I am one who feels thrilled, excited and delighted like a child
Who has been depressed, scared and angry at the world
But also discovered how to channel emotions into poems
I am the one with hopes of getting rid of the hate that exists in the world and finding peace
Dwelling in the central valley of California
Dreaming of one day going home

Poignant and effective, Wally. It shoots straight to the heart of the matter without too many side dishes. Nice to know a bit more about you.
One thing:
I am [ on ] who feels thrilled

Thanks (and thanks for the tip) Ahavati. The format calls for honesty and self reflection. Besides I was up late at night so I really just went with what came out off the top of my head.

And we are delighted to know you, Wally! Not so shy anymore, given some of your poems - they too are your opinions in the vast discussion of things.

Thanks Johnny. Funny thing is I've performed in front of people and have spoken in public before and yet I still feel shy, but if it needs to be done I'll do it.

Thank you Summer, much appreciated. It's great to know folks are out there with the same passion for writing and poetry.

Soo... I was having a bout with insomnia for a couple of nights, I was writing five poems at the same time and working them on them later in the day while at work. Not entirely sure why I ended the poem that way but it's something I'm going to have to look into.

Josh - I was thinking that too as I was working the following day. Not sure what my subconscious told me to write at 3 in the morning when I had to be up in a couple of hours to work. I miss the city where I grew up, I also miss the city where I was born, it's a question I've been asking myself for a couple of days now.

I've been reminded recently 'home is where the heart is' but it left me none the wiser. I think 'home' is most strongly felt when one is caught up in the creative process where time loses its stranglehold (for a time :)) ), like a child playing ...

Dear W,
An absolutely endearing write and insight on our Wallyroo! Wonderfully crafted. I think it’s the most difficult thing on the planet trying to define oneself. You’ve done it brilliantly. All the best in the comp! H🌷

Thank you Honoria,
It really is difficult to define or describe ourselves with just a few words. I just wanted to be sincere with the first things that came to mind. That and the lack of sleep was pushing to spill my emotions as quickly as I could.

I grew up in LA and moved to the golden empire about five years ago. I go down to LA every couple of weeks to visit my oldest son (although with this pandemic it's been a couple of months).
Everything has changed so much, I kind of miss the big city living but not the traffic. I was writing late at night so I'm still trying to identify why I said that. I do feel a certain homesickness from time to time.
