: About Me

Im 37, and I have been writing poetry since as Long as I can remember. I live in Yakima Washington with my wife and two wonderful girls. Stormie, age 12, and Shanele, 15 going on 20. Just kidding, she is only 14. I believe, that poetry always has a message. It is one of the best ways for one to express themselves. I also believe poetry is or can be therapeutic. Some people who have a hard time opening up have been proven to be able to express themselves through thier writing. I for one, write to express myself, and also because I like to write for the enjoyment of others. I really enjoy it when my writing can really move a person emotionally. I also enjoy it when my poems make a person feel better after reading it then they did before they read it. If a person can relate to your writing, you can make a connection with your reader, and make quite an impact on them. This is what I enjoy. I hope you enjoy all that I write on here, whether it be poetry, in the debates, or whatever category it is I may write in.

Have a great day!

BROKEN HOME - She sits on the porch and looks up at the stars; flipping up her collar, hiding her scars. As a young girl, while sitting in school, she often wondered how love could be so cruel. The memories of the past, make her feel sad. Remembering how they beat her so bad. Her parents were strict. She was given no slack. Their method of punishment, left scars on her back. Their violence had left her with no will to fight; no matter how hard she tried, she could never do anything right. So many times she prayed to God, up above, to please let her parents, show her one taste of love. Thei...
