: About Me

I love to write. I enjoy the challenge of putting my point across and offering information about a given subject. My experience of life is very varied and comprehensive which certainly helps. It is through experience that one is able to write, with knowledge, with compassion, indeed with passion also. It gives me a great sense of achievement to have written a good piece, and that I have articulated my views and knowledge to the best of my abilities. Sure it is rarely perfect, but it is a great learning curve, there is always something to be taken from any writing experience that will enhance further writing. Hopefully gaining the additional knowhow and to entice the reader to read avidly is something I strive for. That said, it is a great pleasure for me to write.

I am a 53 year old woman, a divorcee with three beautiful sons that I am exstatically proud of. I work hard and enjoy my work. I enjoy happy times with my family and friends. I enjoy my own company and I always have something to do. I am fiercly protective of my independance, I am a free spirit. I have varied interests within every aspect of my life. Life hasnt always been an easy ride, and thats ok, it has made me a stronger person for it.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Autumn leaves

92 of 136

Autumn leaves, sway in the autumn breeze, brushing my face as they fall, endlessly falling. The atmosphere is dry, the leaves are dry crunching underfoot reminding you that winter is nigh, and the tormented winds will once again be with us, ferocious in the journey, let out of their confines to blow us this way and that, so gentle by comparison are the autumn winds, caressing the leaves to their destination, turning them such beautiful hues from our imaginations, remembered autumn days from our childhood, remembered times of pending days of rain infested afternoons, of gloomy skies and the...
