: About Me

I started writing at 13 as a way of letting my feelings out. I think it some ways it was an escape for me when things were bad, but mostly it was where I could let my feelings out and not worry about anything.
I only write poetry about what I know. All my poetry is about something I have experienced in some way. I have written more than two hundred poems but that is a guess.
I started writing short stories, then articles for newspapers and that all started with letters to the editor. I am working on a book which I hope to finish before my 75th birthday which is a very long way away but sometimes life schedules just get in the way with the amount of time that I would like to spend on writing.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I don't understand what is happening to us we seem to be falling apart. headed for leaving eachothers hearts. We should have seen this coming should have seen it in eachothers eyes not taken by surprise. There has been far less of looking into eachothers eyes replaced by, miscommunication and lies. what is going on? Where is my friend? Have we hit a rough patch? Or is this the end.
