Biography
I wrote my first poem age 7. I love words! I mean they are so powerful. With words I can travel the world because Words take me places I could not go otherwise. Words can lend comfort, negotiate peace, ease suffering, teach, offer compassion and foster friendships. There's nothing more important to me than to have my words mean something, to touch someone, to hear someone say about my poetry, "I felt that",
Travel
I can travel on paper. Visit unknown places. Gift barren lands with lakes and rivers, the poor with gold and silver. I could run a marathon and be the winner. I can travel on paper. I'd finally go to London, meet the Queen. Discuss life with her and everything. I could fly to the moon and back in one day. Learn piano from Beethoven and a sonata I'd play. I can travel on paper. And leave this old, frail body behind, I'd run through fields, climb mountains. Pen the most perfect rainbow by day and the most beautiful stars in the sky by night. I can travel on paper. I can go to a place and time when she loves me again and is mine. Yes, I'd pen the love I'd lost fully restored. Come to think of it, how could I want anything more?
