A discription of myself, Hmmmm….
I guess it’s fair to say I really don’t know how to describe myself with out sounding like an arrogant jerk.I am 33 years old and I grew up in the Greater Los Angeles area. My mother and grandmother are both advid readers and they passed this gift down to me. They ecouraged my love for poetry and encouraged me to use it inorder to overcome my dyslexia by reading more.
I started writing poetry when I was 11 years old after I read Tyger Tyger(William Blake) for the first time. When I read the first two lines I could see the tiger in my head running thru the jungle in the dead of night as this brilliant flash like a firestorm in the dark.

I started writing poetry when I was 11 years old after I read Tyger Tyger(William Blake) for the first time. When I read the first two lines I could see the tiger in my head running thru the jungle in the dead of night as this brilliant flash like a firestorm in the dark. That impressed me, I knew then that I wanted to envoke such vivid and lasting imagery in the minds and hearts of others. And I have strived since that day to do so.
In high school I fell under the influence of the Trancentialest and Beat poets. They have helped to shape my point of view and find my own unique voice.
If I had discribe my love for the writen word it would go beyond love or passion. The writen word is my drug, my addiction. Poetry is my heroin. I have yet to find anything else that can evoke such a strong adverse reaction and at the same moment create the most healing and revolutionary religious experiences.
I find that there is a common ground and sypathetic or empathetic voice. There is romance, adventure and danger. Poetry; the written word allows us for that moment to be everything we wanted and then we can fly. Nothing is impossibe in words.
It is my dream to publish my works and let not only this generation but, all the generation to come be my judge. And that I believe starts with you. There isn’t anything you can say that will hurt me unless it’s not the truth. So please help me become the writer I dream to be.
Oh yeah, I am a horrible speller so forgive my erors.
