Russell Sivey Poet Sedoka

All About Russell

I love poetry
I’m quite a loveable man
I do enjoy simple walks
I’m gaining knowledge
My family does come first
I love my sleek computer

I’m kind, enjoyable, full of feelings
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I’m a great friend to have

I enjoy good games
I love teriyaki steaks
I like my roses

To enter my heart, you must first love it

Russell Sivey
