 I am in a mighty institution called marriage.I am employed by my hubby and three kids in a workplace called the house,which I like to call home.So I like to call myself a domestic engineer.
I got back to writing poetry again after a hiatus of eighteen years,that's because I found this wonderful website called Poetry Soup.And all the wonderful poets from whom I learn and who continue to inspire me to write better.
I started writing poetry at a very young age.That's because I did not have the happiest of childhood.As a little child with no one to turn to,the only respite I got was by putting down my feelings on paper.I still think I wrote my best poetry during those early teen years.
My motto in life has always has been,Live and let live.I would like to see peace in this world before I die,its asking too much considering the current state of affairs,but its always good to hope,optimism,I think brightens life,its sunshine in the mind.
Adios dear friends.Take care and stay safe.

We are all worried because we haven't heard from Nette Onclaud for a long time and it is so unlike her..so I request all poets hailing from Manila or any part of the Philipines to please find out about her..It will not be so difficult if you live in the same country..
There are many on the soup who are from the Philipines and I am sure most of you know her, so if any of you have any information about her, please leave a comment..or soup mail me.
Thank you for your attention..I am so grateful..
