How I Got Started Writing Poetry.

I have been writing poetry since the 
age of nine. My relatives discovered 
some of my work in a cedar chest owned 
by my grandmother. Upon her death, they 
were going through the contents and ran 
across a couple of poems I had written. 
My love for poetry first surfaced before 
I was proficient in reading and writing. 
At the young age of seven I recall asking 
my mother to read poetry aloud to me. She 
read a couple of my favorites over so many 
times that I had them memorized. Throughout 
my years in junior high and high school, 
I continued to write poetry now and then, 
but it wasn't until I was saved and baptized 
in 1988 that my true poetic abilities came to 
life. The words just began to flow out of me 
like water and I began to write not one 
but many poems.


I now have subscribers from the U.S. including 
Canada, Alaska, Hawaii and 75 foreign countries. 
Since then, I have had my work published in five 
national magazines as well as three hardback 
anthologies. In addition, my poetry is now being 
displayed on more than 150 different websites as 
far away as Perth in Australia, Wales in 
United Kingdom, and the country of Singapore.
