My Story

Whispers of whats to come and what will be
These are the voices that make me see
See a world where dreams can happen
A world of spotted trees and walls of bumble bees
My soul, a dark cloudy blanket
Reminds me of the days where time and laughter are forever
Imagination inside a little pod
Spurts of growth create new branches
As these black claws reach their way to the top
I rise

Darwin The Dreamer


My first children's book, a work in progress. Premise is about a little blind boy who creates wonderful creatures from his imagination, even though he is blind he can see his creations because they came from his imagination. Moral: A Child is both imaginative and creative, and with such a mind, they can turn their dreams into reality.

Is Glen Keane out there?

When I was a child my father worked for Atari, doing robotics somehow he was introduced to a young artist by the name Glen Keane, He did 3 very rough drawings of Disney characters obviously he drew Donald duck for me, saying " hello Donald I like your name" So Glen if your out there and remember this, Id love for you to verify it, So I know that my dad didn't lie to me after all these years. :)

Gravity ( A Dixon Poem)

Gravity

Battered beat and bruised
Gravity
Flashes that cover my cerebelum
The ground beneath my black feet
The day and time where my soul and the ground meet
Gravity
Pushing,Pulling,Wanting more
This power holds me when I want to soar
Crushing perceptions, like a rodent in a strong fist
Gravity
Even in death this power controls us
Six feet into the ground
Black wings and a soul appear as a mound
We rot
Gravity

Skills






I want to help ignite the flame of imagination among the youth!

Medusa


Today for some reason I wished I had the power to just look at things and freeze them. I wanted to turn everything into stone. I guess I hate Change.
