: About Me

I am not anywhere near being a professional writer, though I do enjoy writing as a hobby. Professionally, I am a stay at home mother of two little boys. The benefits that I receive from this position are more than any job could ever reward me. My oldest son is 5 and has mild-moderate autism. My youngest is 15 months. The two of them keep me on my toes 24/7.

I also have bipolar disorder, which for the time being seems to be controlled. I honestly believe that everyone could be diagnosed with some sort of mental illness, just depends on what psychiatrist you have picking at your brain. In short, none of us are normal.

I have a wide range of interests that include, but are not limited to, writing, cooking, family, politics, religion, heated debates (love intelligent arguments), etc...

As you have probably already guessed, I am not a college graduate. I have had some college, but that's it. However, I can hold my own pretty well when in conversation with those that are much more educated than I am.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Forbidden

Forbidden fruit upon a tree, Forbidden fruit of ecstasy. Twas' rich with life, I did not know. It's nectar sweet, And smooth to flow. Forbidden fruit, Of poisoned passion, With leaves like vines, No compassion. And truth be told, I never lied. Twas' all the truth, To a blind man's eyes. Forbidden fruit upon a tree, Thou has gone, And set me free. Foolishly I sit broken. A mere addition to your pile of tokens.
