About

 

My Name is TC McKinney and I am an Author and Poet with multi talent in different fields. I am not only an Author and Poet but also an editor, formatter, website designer, marketer, video editor etc. I am into creative Arts of all kind including Art, Music, Crafts, Poetry etc. My life is spent daily doing for others. I have an Intention that marks my character as unique though it is strongly an intention that most develop over time. I am always searching for new and better ways to improve myself and what I do. I love meeting new people who have the same intention as me though if not I will not judge how or where they stand in there life due to much diversity. This is what I like to promote, Diversity in its fullest form with unity strands that bind us together for the common good. I am now 25 and have a strong passion for life and I seek each day as if it is my last. Many times have I been deemed strong willed and utterly annoying due to my interest and perception of life. I dont wish to change how I am th, though I am always up for correction when and where it is needed in my life. Constantly I am a critcizer of my own work and life looking for new ways to go beyond the box of my five senses. I have days and nights where I defend my beliefs and I can be rather more of a pest than a helper, but when the facts are straight I do my best to correct those inner and outer qualities that need to be corrected for my progress. Never have I responded well to people who have a thirst for telling me I am just plain wrong or that I should not do something but do embrace a comforting of helpful hints though I may not catch the hints and fall on the ground wondering why am I where I am. This does play a big part in my life because if I come to error I must be in a constant challange with myself to realize that there is a force that pushed me in this direction and I like to step up to this challange and take it a step forward. Life is a lesson, a game, a way to perfection, correction so that I can percieve clearly where I can place my next footing in the sands of time.

Description

<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>

You have a beautiful form. The flow was great. Wonderful, just plain wonderful. ~the fraz bforibus commented on My Only 01-03-2010 sounds like the offspring of lucifier, very dark and mysterious, but loving and complimenting. great job ad excellent flow bforibus commented on Everything Except 01-03-2010 i enjoyed the poem all the way through except for one stanza and that was the one that included the influenced line. i was hoping that it was more ... unique word play like the rest of the lines it felt out shadowed by the poem as a whole. either way i enjoyed it and it was still a interesting concept. great job
