Since most of my writing was about my family this presented a conundrum. It took many years to break this rule and I still fight it almost every time I sit d...

The magical thing about poetry is that it does not speak for one person nor does it speak of one story. We all have something to say but not necessarily the means to convey. While the author expresses her experiences, she also speaks the hearts of others who may not travel the same adventure as her but relates in a way like no other.

Follow yourself from being left till feeling embraced. In philosophical poetry, the author is leading you from one world to the other, passing the stages of life.
