I wrote my first poem in fourth grade and have been hooked ever since. It was entitled Daffodils. Poetry got me through the angst of adolescence and the dissonance of adulthood.
I have enjoyed Neopoets and the feedback of its members over the years.
I currently live in a nursing home due to the worsening of Multiple Sclerosis. I spend much time crafting poetry as well as leading a writing class. I give the residents a prompt that requires them to access their past. Then, they write however they would like. It is a rewarding class for them as well as for me!
