The blog link in my sig has plenty of examples of my art and writing. Check it out and let me know what you think. Is it good enough to be worth making a book out of? I want to get like 50 or so poems together before I make the book.

Absolutely, you should. I generally prefer prose to poetry, but I like your work. You write good clean lines and make your meaning easily understood. And the words are obviously heartfelt.

I did spot what I believe is a typo in "Silent After Midnight": You rhyme "beat" with "care". It's probably supposed to be "bear" and "care"? (And I won't make a Care Bears joke here. You're welcome. :wink: )

Very nice. I'm actually in the process of doing this myself, though without illustrations. I've nothing against them, but want my poetry to speak for itself.

PS My blog of poetry is at the www button down below.
