Out of this love of reading I have developed a love of writing. I try to just sit and watch people and learn why they act the way they do. Then I try to develop a character is a real person, and makes decisions like a real person would. I haven't finished a lot of stories, because one thing I don't have is patience. I have finished one or two, and I have written a few poems.
Poetry is a whole other category which reveals the beauty and magnificence of words.
I hope that you enjoy some of what I have put up here, and that it may inspire you to write also. I wrote this for a Creative Writing Contest in our local newspaper, the Anchorage Daily News . A Squirrel's Life A poem that I wrote a couple of years ago. The Child of the F ries I ran across this poem, which I wrote years ago, and made a few changes. Flower in the Crannied Wall Alfred, Lord Tennyson - I love all of Tennyson's works.
