Waz up all Mister Rengerz here again …

Today I’d like to get your feedback on an amazing poem Allan wrote. He’s not just a masterful web designer – but a fantastic poet, too – an all around renaissance man.

Below is the poem he wrote as a lament about the brick character Ping that Anne Mai meets in the dungeon of the Ring Dragon. Within it’s beautiful prose is a heart searching for some validation from an often quiet and indifferent creator. Inspiring.

Ping’s Lament

Somewhere in a distant dream
a lifetime lived against the stream
I tried to calm each fearful scream

Years of sorrow passing by –
The others here before Anne Mai
I wept as I was forced to watch them die

To dry the tears of countless eyes
to banish the evil I despise
I gave my life in sacrifice

Now here I stand, dear maker-king
who made me and the dragon’s ring
Is there room in your home for Ping?

Enchanted brick of your design
who did the work of the divine –
Is the reward of Heaven mine?

From earth and clay I was wrought
born from my creator’s thought
a pawn in someone else’s plot?

I implore you, my soul momentarily revive
I need to know — did they survive?
Is my friend Anne Mai alive?

It breaks my heart to hear you when
you say Enchanted Bricks are not like Man
when I just want to see her smile again.

– Allan

Howdy all. Mister Rengerz here. This is my first ever blog of any kind – anywhere. My masterful web designer, brother-in-law, and all around great guy, Allan, is trying to help me get the hang of it all.

My hope, my vision, going forward into the future with this blogging thing is that it will be a great way for me, the author of Ring Dragonz, to have stimulating conversation with the readers of Ring Dragonz. I think it could be an awesome way for us to discuss topics ranging from my writing, to your writing, and even comparing notes as I prepare to begin the sequel to Ring Dragonz.

One thing about me, friends, I do take advice, and I take it seriously. For example, I have a few working titles for book 2, including but not limited to Ring Goddezz, and even Ninja Dragonz. So start blogging me about your ideas for a possible title for book 2, or even anything readers would like to see happen in the sequel. I’ll even drop a few hints about where the series is going in book 2 as it begins to take shape.

Also. Artwork. As you may have noticed from the website … I LOVE TO DRAW!!! I also love receiving artwork from artists of all age ranges, but I especially treasure the Ring Dragonz artwork I get from young people. Allan and I are going to develop a new section of www.ringdragonz.com and dedicate it solely to your art. So send, send, send

NEWZ FLASH !!!
Currently, Ring Dragonz is just over a year old, and was recently taken by a friend, Larry, to his New York publishers for consideration. They’re interested and have agreed to review it. Obviously, I am very excited and maybe even a bit too anxious about this development. To recap, Ring Dragonz is now with a small independent publisher, Helm Publishing. But, in all seriousness, a major New York publisher will go a long way for Ring Dragonz’ visibility and viability.

Take care you, and blog me back,

Mister Rengerz
