Crystol Woods Biography

I didn't start writing poetry until 2023. I had written a few songs and I guess that's how I got started. I've always wanted to be a writer... because I enjoy reading so much. I consume at least one book per week. That and studying the Bible are my favorite pass times. I was ordained as a Non-denominational Christian minister in 2020.

I also play the ukulele a little, sing a little, love crafting, sewing, cooking, and any kind of art. I've been in childcare and early education for 30 years and have 2 of my own. My husband, Harvey, and I are blessed with a daughter, Rosie, now 18 years old! And our son, Hunter, who lives in Heaven.

I have been following Brian since 2021 when he inspired my poem Circumlocution - Venn Diagram. More recently, Insidious AI. Yes, I too recommend his poetry - he is sharp and witty.

I deleted the link to fb but the other link is to a photo of his poem mentioned above. It's only spelled incorrectly because I named the photo myself. Perfectly safe now! Thanks again!! Xoxo

BTW it is Bilston. I am reluctant to open the links where his name is spelled differently. :)
