MightWar

Some of the words I have written here will hurt those who matter: and for that, I am sorry.
But I cannot lie about what I feel when I write for myself.

These words record a part of my self that I wish to remember. And so I continue to write: in the hope that in time, my words will bring me to that point where everything is forgiven.

– mightwar: Seeking Forgiveness

Hello, and welcome to MightWar – the online musical.

I cannot say when I first started writing to record my thoughts and experiences. But outside of messages and gifts, my writing was done for my sole pleasure and fill a number of notebooks that I return to from time to time.

This site is an experiment to find out what other people think about my writing and a direct result of my brother-from-another-mother telling me to “share” my words.

mightwar is a Poetry, Creative Writing and Photography blog. With topics ranging from travel to people to illness, mightwar puts pen to page to web. And so the word dances on…

What’s Here

About: A little bit about me for your reading pleasure – and proof that I am in fact a living, breathing person and not just a figment of my own imagination.

Comment Policy

I welcome your thoughts on the work included here and would appreciate it if you could use the Rate This and Like This buttons as the quickest means of leaving an opinion. If you have time or feel moved to, please leave a comment.

Please be brutally honest in your assessments – good, bad or indifferent. I don’t scare easily; and I really do want to hear what YOU have to say about my work. Many thanks in advance for your time and your criticism.

Just so you know though: I am not so good at responding to comment messages. Seriously, weeks go by without me opening my emails – and I’ve had the same account for years! I’m gonna read through all comments left and respond where necessary, but my chronic illness affects my eyesight and movements on a daily basis, so this will be a slow process.

Where to Start?

The Categories section will give you a good introduction to the different elements of work recorded on the site.

After that, it’s up to you. Have a nosey around and stop where the mood takes you.

So feel free to peruse at your leisure, as I present the mumblings and musings of an African immigrant on the interweb. Go on, I dare you …

P.S.: Despite the formidable name, I am quite nice to know; so please feel free to contact me.
