About MeI am a Poet/Writer full of life and love; looking to connect with other creative people. I began writing at the age of 12; writing poetry and short stories for my middle school's small newspaper. I was always full of these words and a head full of imagination, that often lured me away into vivid daydreams. It wasn't until I was introduced to such writings as Shakespeare's sonnets, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, and Emily Bronte, that I found my unleashing through pen and paper. I am and always will be a work in progress, ever evolving...learning my Art.

But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things. ~T.S. Eliot, Tradition and the Individual Talent, 1919~ ~ Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words. ~Edgar Allan Poe~ ~ Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth. ~Samuel Johnson~ ~ Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted. ~Percy Shelley, A Defence of Poetry, 1821~ ~ Poetry ~ Logic's the language of science, poetry's the accent of passion. ~Ali Khaghani~ ~ Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary. ~Kahlil Gibran~     Comments
