Jeanne, this is a wonderful portrait of yourself. I am enjoying getting to know poets through this contest. I too find it very difficult writing about myself and this is the only bio poem I have ever done, and it will be my last. We have a lot in common. Congratulations on your deserving First Place win! Blessings xxoo
