There was a day when i wrote my first poem, a bad day,
Nineteen ninety seven, sitting on the floor, desperation.
Never did i really write before, never a poetic word,
About my children i wrote the words my fight.
Framed it and never stopped, always written on paper,
No computer owned at this time in my life, written words.
With time and thoughts it wasn’t long before stacks formed,
In two thousand and three i developed slowly anxiety problems.
I kept writing, finally my first computer and away i went, typing,
At the same time, while i was typing out all of my poems, i wrote.
Today i have many full portfolio’s of poetry typed and a lot with pictures,
Halloween, Christmas, Western, much assorted about the world and i
Even have a Bruce Springsteen poetry book. each one with a picture to them.
Having a blog has helped me so much, i was encouraged by a certain writer of books,
Thank you all for your support, opinions, and of course your reading, my short story.

I started writing poetry and short stories in grade school. My mom told me it was NO GOOD so I stopped writing. Went back to writing in college. My boy friend (who I would later marry) told me it was NO GOOD. So I stopped writing again. Finally occurred to me that other people’s opinion did not matter. So have been writing off and on since 2012! Just tend to be as stubborn as my mother’s father. We would argue with a fence post if it would argue back, just for fun!

I won’t let anyone tell me it’s no good. I have stupid opinions from family behind my back.
