Biography

I am a chronic pain sufferer since 1993. In 1973 I had a horrific accident which caused me constant pain. I didn't let that mishap stop me from jogging, playing softball, working, coaching Little League, and the things that normal people do. In 1993 I forgot one time to lift properly which caused a loud snapping sound. Long story short, in one instant I went from being a productive worker, from being a 3rd baseman to being an old man. The back injury ruined my life and I have been in constant agony since then. I have to take methadone to kill the pain, and various other meds for depression, hbp, etc. I have been writing for 44 years. I will be posting all types of prose or poetry from the 60's up until the present. I am big on Christian Poetry. Lately, besides writing my own prose, I have been collaborating on a few poems with Skymist2. I sincerely hope that you enjoy what you read from my contributions. God bless. Sam Hyde

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
