I have been writing poetry for many years now. I do it for enjoyment. I never studied writing for a major or career just started doing it from one day to another. I haven't written as much in recent years, but try to when there is a moment for it.
I also write and illustrate children books on the side now. My passion and major is in fine arts. Hope you enjoy my work. You can find my artwork online very easily.

Do you remember playing baseball?
Or hitting tennis balls over the net?
Do you recall basking in the sun?
Those were the best days of all.
...
And so it is Christmas time.
Another twelve months are gone.
Where are you this Christmas?
I believe you set off on another life.
...
When I look down at a blank page,
I see only white paper and no marks
It waits for my pen to create something
Like a poem or drawing in its final stage.
...
I walked along the beach in windy air.
My mind was lost in deep meditation.
I searched for better periods in my life.
