poeta-veritas:
This is Latin and loosely translated, to me, it means a poet who tells the truth. I try to do this with the words that I express and the issues that I write about. Lies can only get you so far when writing... the truth gets you a lot further.

My name is Bess.
I live in a small town in Australia and I really do want to try and change the world... even if it is only a little bit of it.
I have had a couple of accounts on here before, but this is the first one that I am taking seriously and updating all of my poems (some old, but most of them pretty recent) to see what people think of them and express how I feel.
Even though most of my poems are sad... I try to allow for a glimmer of hope... of just that chance that something can be done now to stop these things or make life a little better.
I will be commenting lots of people's work and art seeing as I think comments are some of the most important things on here - apart from people's work, of course.
I hope that you can be moved, understand and connect with my work and, if you have time could you leave me a note or a comment about it... just something short even would be most appreciated.
Thank you so much and you are all so talented.
I can't wait to see all your works and let you see mine.
Love from Bess.
