I'm almost 75 years old (Aug 24 2008) and I've started being bombarded with ideas for new poems and new stories. This is my last harruh and I've decided to make the most of it while it lasts.
Won't you help me by redestributing material on this site you find appealing? Email, repost, distribute as you wish as long as credit is given and my AD site is included.
My best work to date is a tribute to my mother, May Clark Stevens, which has had 33,604 hits. You might know other folks who would also enjoy this site? Mother's Death,
Need a poem for your newsletter, or club report? Find one here that fits your needs and help yourself. Just credit Henry B Stevens and link back to this AD page.
Perhaps a poem or story would be interesting to your family and friends? Just cut and paste with back links and send it. Make sure the folks understand they can also forward and redistribute and use with proper credits.
I'm too old to publish a book, but with some help from my friends I can expand my readership and have a bunch of fun in the process. Won't you help me along?
Many thanks for whatever you can do. s/henry
