How long have you been writing poetry?: Poetry became a part of my life when I discovered that life itself wasn't waiting for me; and, when I had time to displace thoughts with written words.

What/Who inspires you to write?: I am inspired by my blessed Mother and Father, and only Grandfather I ever knew; nature; and, pieces of life that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Favorite Quote or Motto: "What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." Crowfoot (Blackfoot warrior and orator - Last Words - 1890)
