I have been writing for as long as I can remember, although a good portion of my poetry has...disappeared...over the years.  But I have managed to hold on to most of it, and although sometimes I want to burn some old love poems that no longer mean that much to me, my mom always told me to hold on to them anyway, so I held on to all of it.  I have written on all types of subjects, though, life, love, friendship, nature, etc....  Now, goodness knows my poetry is not the best in the world, but as I have often been encouraged to share, I finally gave in, and will try to share some of what I consider to be my better works.  Ty for reading.
