About me

After Navy service in the Pacific and Philippines during World War II, I earned a BFA from the Phila. College of Art (now Univ. of the Arts), and did graduate work at the Univ. of Pa. I was then recalled to active Navy duty for two years during the Korean War. Following was a 40-year career in PR, advertising, sales promotion and graphic design. For more than 20 years, I was manager of a major insurance company's regional creative division.

For our first 20 retirement years, my wonderful spouse and I enjoyed Tucson AZ desert living. Recently, we relocated to Los Angeles CA to be closer to our children.

Before Helium, I wrote a daily humor column for an online newsletter. Now I write and illustrate daily articles for http://www.travel4seniors.com, a website for older world wanderers, as well as contribute to other online editorial sites.

If you're at my advanced age or getting there and love to roam the world, check out http://www.travel4seniors.com every day for informative articles, Q&As, photos, videos and great on-the-go bargains offered by our advertisers.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: In other words: 7 of 31

Too often when one speaks of love, In other words are the intentions. There are often various meanings, More than words are the intentions. When a young man says I love you, In a heated and romantic twist, His words are less about marriage, And more for a passionate tryst.
