I have always loved poetry. Even though I write both free verse and rhyme, I especially like rhyme. As a young child, I enjoyed repeating nursery rhymes they were fun for the tongue. In elementary school, I wrote short verses, but these were lost in the many moves our family made during The Great Depression. I have kept a scrapbook of high school (graduated June 1945, Cuyahoga Falls High School Distinguished Alumna) favorite poems with biographies of my favorite poets. My all-time favorite poem is TREES by Joyce Kilmer. While I was busy raising my family of five children, I did not take time to write. However, when they were grown, I found myself looking for some way to make a difference in the world. Two weeks later, I was inspired in church by what the pastor said to write my first published poem, LOVE NEVER DIES, which won the Editor s Choice Award. Since then, poems literally pop into my head at random, mostly at five o clock in the morning, or at church. I have published over five hundred poems in the United States, England, France, and India, and have won many prizes.
