I have discovered that I love to research and write about historical and political events. The Internet is my tool, I didn't have such sophisticated aids during my youhtful develment. Many are stunned awake to learn what I have been able to incorporate into my poetry. And fiction. Most of my poems are fiction. I enjoy it very much. The contests are writing challenges with a broad variety of poetry forms for learning, and a marvelous platform for presenting congatualtory comments and support for one another. I'm here to improve my writing skills with poetic devices and to keep markers on special days—journals!

I am a struggling, irrepressibly creative force manifesting myself
by channeling a myriad of diverse, inexplicably bold, personas. I Am Anaya.

'Chaos' I'm a collector -comic book cards...
The rebel who came to town
In search of inner peace
She roams the American West
Specifically, the Texas Hill Country and South Plains
She keeps a journal of her adventures and fights
injustice where she finds it
With a revolver and her dead father's machete!

Art is Life and Life is art

than we think we can—Frida Kahlo

than the color of his eyes, me say war" __Bob Marley
