How long have you been writing poetry?: I have been writing poetry since the age of 11.

What/Who inspires you to write?: I just love poetry for what it is. I can write on any given subject, in most any environment. I like structured poetry, and love the challenge of writing in different forms. If I had to choose what inspires me most, I would have to say it is Human Emotion...

Favorite Quote or Motto: If we should take life with a grain of salt, would it be to bold to ask for some pepper?

Writing Awards, Publications, and other Achievements: Poems published in 'A Muse To Follow' and 'A Surrender To The Moon.' Word Master Triple Challenge for April 2007.

Additional Poet Information: I have recently completed a Crown of Sonnets which are based on 'The Seven Deadly Sins.' I am going to submit them here as a collection and hope you will take a peek. I have also completed a Semi-Cento, which is a 50 lined poem with each line attributed to a different poet. I am soon going to post that one at my address in Villanelle Valley.
