Single, 40, Veteran who writes both poetry and some short story material. Not the most prolific writer ever but, I try hard.

I have written and been published as a poet in those National Contests, you know the ones. I write poetry, some short stories and editorial style blogs on this site.

I suffer from several health issues including Bipolar, Borderline Personality Disorder, Arthritis(osteopath)among others.

I have three children that live with my ex-wife. They are a wonderful little girl, and twin boys. I miss them dearly as I do not see them nearly enough.
