Biography

I am an amateur poet. I started writing poetry this year. I am untrained, and write from the heart. I keep a blog, and my pen name is JK Penny. I changed my name, simply, because I wanted to keep my real name free from any conations, which may arise on Google searches from my creative writing. I’m more than happy to chat and meet new people, and gain insight into how to write poetry. (Using my real name ;-) )Because, I don’t have a clue about poetry. I will soon be leaving my current job, and progressing on to new adventures, hopefully travelling and finding inspiration on the other side of the world.

Samples

Life is for rent, borrowed time but does it deserve more respect? i want to, but i can’t hide should we face the present, committ or go, “what the heck” or scream, “sod it & fly?” just because our generation can is life for living and exploring? or contributing and committing? society demands hard work, ‘puttin’ in’ Like bees humming in eternal obedience But am I a Queen or am I drone? as i’m forced to flee from corporate hive to hive Before i take leave and die But this hive is killing me I can’t stay any more Must move and free my tender wings im a dying a busy bee, but no honey left in me my colony doesn’t need me I don’t need them, I must flee i’ve tried to find meaning in life, looked to the stars the weird quantum world but it means nothing really live my life by science? live my life by religion? live my life by art? or live my life by society’s expectations? I’m deep in my lone world my living world, this surely cant be real? no life’s love, no children of my own nothing left here to unravel or peel time to go find a new pack time to make a new life pact my life here no longer calls me to heal remember, life is for rent nothing owned, beauty & memories will fade & die others contribute to society & live a lie but so far, my life feels in debt.
