I have been writing poetry since my first assignment in grade school. Approximately two years ago I began sharing my work with others when I wrote "Remember" which I dedicated to the Families of four RCMP Officers gunned down by a crazed man. Poetry has been my passion since I can remember, something I did when ever I was sad, upset, happy or just lonely and needed to do something to bide my time. I still write for all these reasons but mostly because writing brings me pleasure and a calmness that nothing else has ever done.. this is what I love to do most.

Well, outside of self gratification and the pleasure of sharing my work with others, I once won first place in a poetry challenge on a site which I have posted all my poetry to date. I didn't win money but what I did win was the knowledge that others enjoyed what I wrote as much as I enjoyed writing my poetry. I did receive a certificate of sorts but value most the comments I received with my entry.

My favorite poets are the ones yet to be discovered...

This addy will take you to all the poems I've written to date with the exception of any written prior to 1997 which were all destroyed. I literally started over at that time. I hope you enjoy and hope to add my poetry to authorsden as well.
