Wanderings of a Lonely Mind

By A. Ramsey

Poetry is like a constantly changing landscape, or sometimes like an old friend that changes gradually over the years. In either case there seems to be the one constant - change. Often change is the muse of my poetry. It seems to inspire the excitement of what’s to come, warn of what may be lost, and cause a reexamination of things we believe to be real. Sunny days turn to storms, downpours into trickles, for everything that changes brings with it a new muse.

Inside is the biggest place I know. I am an introverted person who finds much comfort from simple things. Taking such simple ideas, and dressing them up in my mind; parading them through a symphony of words. Then breaking them down to their basics returning them to the natural habitat of thought from where they came. Nothing seems particularly extraordinary from this processes, yet out from the works comes a unique perspective.

I live to write poetry. Many of my poems have to do with change, it's inescapable draw, and the lure of new things that it brings. I also attempt distill emotions and principles that we all know if only on a subconscious level. When writing poetry I have an open mind as to where a thought might go. Sometimes even the simplest things lead to fanciful journey in the mind. Using rhyme, metaphors, and familiar things I put into words the ideas or emotions hard to say. Why did I write a claims placing process book? My work involves facilitating the claims placing and auditing process for a major insurance company. This has put me in touch with a large variety of people who are often unprepared for the many steps in the claims process. Getting to help coach people through this, helping them be acquainted with the claim is a great success for me personally. Some miss out on the best benefits that come with being prepared to place a claim, others feel lost and frustrated.

For myself, poetry is like a constantly changing landscape, or sometimes like an old friend that changes gradually over the years. In either case there seems to be the one constant - change.
