Luke Conway, the protagonist in Haven River, loves to write just about anything and when his pen wanders it’s poetry that calls him.

Here is Luke’s poem Without You/With You:

Without You

I am

Nothing.

With You

The world has a

Soul.

Without You

I am

Lost.

With You

One can

Exist.

Without You

There is no

Life blood

And

Nothing.

With You

The world

Makes sense.

Does anybody else have characters who write poetry? How does that help them get through the challenges that life is throwing at them?
