Carl Martin Johnson
Poet, Author, Slayer of Dragons
"I bleed every verse I write....soon my veins will run dry...the foliage of my empire of dirt will die, leaving only the parched earth as my legacy."
- Carl Martin Johnson
I don't paint in pale pastels. Life is vivid color. I am an artist, not an interior decorator.
- Carl Martin Johnson
All poets are angry....we are angry because we cannot touch the face of God.
- Carl Martin Johnson
Poetry is how Man talks to God when he can not pray.
- Carl Martin Johnson -
My poetry is my response to questions not yet asked.
