About This Author
A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

Conundrum
All day I’ve had this phrasing
running through my head,
I mean to say the words correctly,
but fracture them, instead.
Every time I’ve mentioned it;
tried to say the words complete,
My tongue twists it and it becomes:
the Agony of Victory and the Thrill of Defeat.
At first it made no sense at all,
but conscious thought came to the fore,
realized that coming out ahead
leaves you only wanting more.
And that thought is in itself defeat
as conversely odd it seems to me
sometimes just going for the gold
even without a prize, is victory.
