Introducing Pat

“The Writer”

Grief is my inspiration
Without pain I can not write
Without fear the words would not come
Without sorrow the thoughts could not form
Without longing for love my pen would be still
My thoughts shared on paper
My heart penned in ink
my feelings related in words
My fears come in verse
I am the writer
Pain; you are my muse

Patrick S. Kelly

DFO: I’ve known Pat Kelly since he moved here from Boise at age 14. Good kid. Health issues have sidetracked him at a young age. But his health hasn’t affected his writing. Above, you’ll find a poem by him. He’s been published internationally. He’s also published a book of poems, “Songs from the Darkling Choir” here . And you can read all about Pat and his wonderful wife, Melissa, here .
