I have been in a long term love affair with written expression since I was 6 years old. I wrote my first poem to beg my mother for a piano when I was in the 1st grade. It was entered into a contest and I won. I also scored the piano. I’ve been a poet for 23 years now, writing large portfolios at a time. When I started to learn to play piano, I turned my poems into songs. I also write stories. My imagination is constantly going, it never ends. I dont know how I keep a day job with all the dreaming I do….I love words. I love playing with them. I love metaphors, I love mental pictures, anything to get a point across with grace and color. I’m currently feeding a flame for sci-fantasy, but we’ll see if I can light myself on fire. See, I told you…I love it. So join me….
