The Interview Poems by Lynn Barany I do not like the daytime I only like the night. My one time thick black hair Has turned completely white. You know I like to travel And am hardly ever home. Why just the other night I decided to fly to Rome. I said it can't be cheap To fly so many miles, The tall thin man just laughed at me Oh, but I always go in style. I don't care for sunshine But I love the dark night sky I thought this was peculiar So I simply asked him why? The answer is very simple I'm not anything like you I don't believe in many things, Of friends I have very few. You see I am just an old man At least in so called years. And just the mention of my fame Into many creates a fear. And when I want to travel I don't go by plane, I turn myself into a bird And fly towards the rain. This interview was draining me I felt I was on fire. This conversation had to end With the intimidatingVampire.

Hi, Thank you for coming to my poetry site. I hope you've enjoyed reading my poems and will come back again to this humble poets home -- Island Poetry. Every poem is original and is derived from my daily encounters, thoughts, experiences, relationships and contacts with family, loved ones, friends, nature, the world and people at large. My poetry is simple, uncomplicated, straight-forward and honest coming from the heart, soul, a spiritual presence and obviously God -- Her/Himself. Thus, once the idea and first line of a poem "pops" into my head, the balance of my poems "arrive to me" more or less complete requiring only my immediate and total attention and focus in its writing down, with minimal additional work or effort thereafter. While belonging to the International Society of Poets, I have also been fortunate to have had the support and publication of many of my poems by local community newspapers, faith groups, charitable organizations, and in various anthologies published by the National Library of Poetry and catalogued in the U.S. Library of Congress - Publication Data ISBN 1-56167-256-4 I now live on lower Vancouver Island, off the Canadian west coast. Although originally from the Canadian province of Ontario, I have over the years also lived in the province of Manitoba, as well as Germany. Once again thank you for reading my work, hope you enjoyed and found it relevant also to your own experiences of the living, loving and challenges of everyday life. I truly would appreciate and love to hear from anyone with comments, critiques, suggestions or what-have-you. Email Me - lynnbarany@islandpoetry.com Regards, Lynn Barany (Hanna)
