"Real writers are magicians. They spin a web of words so intricate that you can't pull yourself away from the story. You find yourself in strange, familiar places. You smell and see and hear and taste the same things as the characters in the plot. I'm often tempted to turn the book over and look for little trap doors, there has to be a trick to it somehow. How else could I be transported so far beyond myself?"--Emily Burns

Hi my name is Lucy Kennedy a.k.a Lucy Kadeo.

I drew for a period of my life, when I discovered I could write poetry as well. I wrote my first poem titled "A Fairie's Soul" one of the best in my collection. "A Fairies Soul" is also one of two poems which became published. As I grew into a young poet and took acting lessons, I soon found that I enjoyed writing songs and short stories as well.

I'm in my 20s. Live on my own just me in my daughter in our apartment. Working on refurbishing my clerical skills and trying to find a office position right now through a work program. Other than that I'm enjoyin life watchin my daughter grow every day and being a part of her learning and experiences. I write for the love of it and hope to one day make it more than a hobby and publish somethings on a larger scale.


I love to write poetry, for me it comes so easily. I think, I wonder, and I dream about things in my everyday life that most individuals don't think about. When my pen touches paper, it just runs off the page. Blank cavases drive me insane! I just have to write or draw on them. When something happens in my life great or not so great, or I'm inspired by something I write a poem about it. For me its so much easier then writing in my journal, though I do have one, but anyone can look at it. Poetry is my shield, my invisibility cloak, I can tell people things through poems, but not tell them. They can look at it and have no idea what it may be about.

"The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences." -Eleanor Roosevelt.
