I believe a poem can change your life forever. I know many poems I read as a child made a difference in my life. I learned to believe in me. My senses started living along side me. My appreciation for nature and life increased by one hundred percent. As a result I paint, love photography, and I listen and try to pay attention a little bit more to everything around me. I also became a teacher to honor all those teachers who set me straight about life and learning.

We write poems to express whatever we are feeling…that is why most are basically musings. Altho I have to say that writing poems is so much easier when you are in some pain. Lol! A gift is also a curse. That is what it is.
