Work in Progress::: Woman

This is the first edit of the Woman piece. Take a look, compare, and let me know what you think. This piece came to me almost effortless, and I wonder why. I have had strong women in my life - I was raised by some, grew up with some, worked with some, and dated some (not the same ones, of course)- and I offer this piece to them. I edited a few things, but I know there are some parts that don't feel right, and I will iron out the kinks later...come on, people, please let me know what you think.
Well, I'm still working on being published...I still have to wait and see, but hopefully it will happen soon. I don't think I'm anything other than an up-and-coming writer who still has to find the perfect way to project his message through his writings. I am not a professional, yet, and the first step is to see my work published somewhere. I feel it will happen soon, just a matter of time. Once again, I thank the people that have helped me and encouraged me. Thank you with all my heart.

Work in Progress::: Woman

This is a piece inspired by a group on Facebook called Afrikan Poets and Writers for their August 2009 writer series theme; woman. I thought I'd put in my two cents worth and see what you folks think. This is the 1st draft, the rough draft, so I know there are a lot of things to fix. I know of a few but I don't want to influence your suggestions, so...have fun, and let's see how this develops from a diamond in the rough to a polished gem.
Adios, and mucho gracias.

As you can tell from this and the other piece I am working on, Joriji's Daughter, I am fascinated by a few themes in my writings. Some of them are the road, the traveler, chance meeting, etc. I am a firm believer in fate, everything happens for a reason and we come to understand this reason the further along we travel along this path of life. With each step, each experience, we learn something new, or something is more clarified. Anyways, can't wait to read the suggestions.
Thanks, again.
