I started writing poetry around twenty years ago when one of my children asked me to help him with his poetry homework! Since then I have taken to writing in order to make sense of things that occur in life. The very act of writing allows me to clear my head and accept that the only conclusions to anything are those interpreted by the individual.
I have traveled the realms of desperation, redundancy, personal loss, spirituality and depression as have most people. I have also travelled the paths of family, friendship, enjoyment, love and fun and find I prefer these where possible. If my poetry allows anybody to find a pathway between these avenues then I feel it will served its purpose.
I have no deliberate intention to preach, advise or draw conclusions to life, only to say how and why I enjoy it!
