Don't Be So Fast, You're All You've

It Really Wasn't Until I Was In College When I Began To Write More And More, And I Realized I Was Scheduling My Entire Life Around My Writing

To Me, A Poem Is Almost Like Someone Whispering To Another Person, Or You Hear The Whispering In Your Head. I Hope With My Own Poems That The Reader Feels A Connection, Soul To Soul, That'll Help Us All Feel A Little Less Alone On The Planet. And It Does Have The Power To Direct Change. A Writer Can Make The Word 'dark' Be Something Positive. You Can Relieve A Word Like 'hysterical' Of Its Misogynistic Implications. You Can Make The Language Your Own. That's What Poetry Is About.

When I Was Young, I Was Older Than I Am Today.

I Write Short Stories, And I Wrote A Play.

In Fact, Sometimes Traveling The World Is A Way Of Not Writing A Poem, But It's The Quality Of Experience. It's Being Able To Experience Something And When You Begin To Write About It Be Able To Apply The Tools That You Need For Writing.
