English

     I hated to write. Rules and structure impeded the words and ideas. Then I discover that was grammer. Not English. I love English. I despise grammer. I was afraid of poetry, I thought it was impossible. Then she opened my eyes " It is impossible to grade a poem, there are no holdbacks, no set structure!" My luminous pale blues widened as it dawned on me. This is God's gift to me. No more do I loathe and fear little words and splashes of ink. I critique, I glean, I criticize, I dig, I learn, I emerse. This is the birth of a lifetime reader turned writer.
