"I'm nobody! Who are you?" by Emily Dickinson

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us - don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

~Emily Dickinson

Roy G. Biv's Artistic Endeavors

This post functions as a showcase for my creative expressions whatever they may be. More like than not, my creativity will manifest itself as poems or photos with the occasional drawing. Who knows maybe I'll post some of my writing (as long as you pinky swear not to steal it :-)... I also write a lot of music, but I'm not sure if I can post something of that size here. To give you a taste of things to come, here's a photo from Germany last year...


I like you all so much I'll even throw in a haiku...

Don't count your steps
Ponder the impression left
Was it purposed?

*Don't read too much into that one. It's a little trite in my opinion.

Have a great day,
Roy G. Biv

Poem of the Week

"Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear -- "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.'
