Introduction

I didn't decide to write poetry; it just came to me. I have always loved poetry and literature.

Poetry expresses the emotions inside of us that we can't express to a person, whether it be love, sadness, disappointment, or remorse. Poetry is the words that make our hearts feel, but also teach others who listen to the poems.

Beliefs and Motivations

I believe in teaching children at a young age to express themselves with words. I believe totally in communication in a marriage or relationship, for when we hold it so much inside, why not write what I feel if I can't tell a person.

I write of love because I have love. Love from God, even if the neighbor hates me, I write of love.

Personal Background

I believe most of the writing I express in words comes from being the third child. I was shy as a child, and in my marriage, I never got to speak the way I felt. I was never important; towards the end of my marriage, I just shut down and wrote.
