Welcome to WordRider’s World!
Sometimes dark, but most of the time, it brings you a light of hope for tomorrow. This is where you can ride words wherever you need to be—a place to remember, to heal, to laugh, and sometimes to cry. But it is also a place where your soul, mind, and heart can sometimes become one, at least for a while. Check back for new poems and songs each day. May God bless and be with you always. I would like to hear any feedback, good or bad. Thanks to all those who take the time to read my poetry page!
About the Author
George Platt
He began writing what he calls “nonsense poetry” when he was a member of the Army during the Vietnam War. He was later stationed in Germany, for three years, where he continued his writing, sometimes writing love poems or cards for his fellow GI’s. He is a featured author on elyrics.com. His poem, “Please God,” was the winner of the Elizabeth Anderson Campbell Award and “Him Lying There” was a winner in appreciation of WOSL Members Editors Choice Award. His motivation for writing has always been to bring a smile or a thoughtful moment of reflection to those who read his writings. Mr. Platt currently lives, where he was raised, in the foothills of the beautiful Ozark Mountains in north central Arkansas. He can usually be found at one of the local restaurants, pen & paper in hand, passionately writing or he can be contacted by emailing gwplatt@hotmail.com.
About the Book
Wordrider’s This and That is a mixture of poems and song lyrics about a range of feelings. Words about love, broken hearts, things that might be silly, and abuse by husband, boyfriend, friend or family member. I try to convey feelings that might have you touching the sky, walking with a rain cloud overhead, or maybe shaking your head in wonderment. You might laugh, cry, or be left scratching your head. My hope is that my poems or songs will let someone know they aren’t alone in what they have been through, and that tomorrow can be better. That faith will see you through. I give thanks to God for giving me these words to write. I dedicate this book to my mom, my family, my friends, and each and every person who has helped me along the way, even the ones I don’t know. I thank them, one and all, each one that took time to read my poems even though they might not have wanted to read them. Some people say some of my poems or songs lyrics are off the wall or too much about love. To this, I can only say: “The reason I write off the wall stuff is I play on the ceiling a lot.” and “It may not be love but it is close enough to chocolate to taste good.”
