An Introduction

I have created this blog primarily as a place to keep my poetry. If people read it, much less enjoy it, I will be pleasantly surprised. 

I have been writing since I was a child, and I found I greatly enjoyed poetry as a teenager. Now a little older, I find I have the urge to write almost constantly. It gnaws away at me. I must write everything down. I shan't publish everything on here, there is too little time. I hope somebody, perhaps somebody reading this, enjoys my poetry, and who knows, perhaps I shall publish other works of mine.

I have published two poems before, under a name not shown on this site. One in English and one in German. Looking back on them, I am unhappy with one and barely satisfied with the other. I think this is a very good thing. If I still thought of them as fondly as I had when they were written, I should come to the conclusion that I have undergone no improvement. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this introduction to my blog. The barely coherent rambling, I'm afraid, will remain a feature of my work.

Keep writing,

Sterne
