About Me
About me
60 year old female living near the beautiful Myall Lakes NSW. I used to write, draw, paint and dream a lot in my youth. The realities of life got in the way and in the process of surviving I misplaced my creative self. So I guess by joining Neopoet I'm hoping to recapture that piece of self lost long ago. I haven't written for over thirty years now, so I guess I'll have to start off with the words of my youth, however immature and naïve they may be!
Location: myall lakes australia, AUS
Favorite Poets
The lyrics of songs inspire me most these days
Bob Dylan
Paul Kelly and Pink Floyd mostly.
Nature and children are also a huge inspiration!
