Hello! to all you fellow writers,poets and critics.

My name is Maria.I am aged 38

I live in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in England,I guess that makes me a Geordie.

I,ve been writing on and off for about 13 years. I would say my style is to have no style in particular; as I write whatever I feel; whenever I feel it, I guess you could say I,m a free spirit.

I don,t really consider myself as educated in English literature,though I have done some creative writing courses. My work isn’t based on education it is based on my life experiences, observations and emotions.

I also like a good debate.
I do like good advice re- writing skills as I enjoy learning as I go. I dislike having books rammed down my throat or pompous elitist arrogan…

I exist, but I do not live. I have battled, but I have lost. I have pain, it will not go. Humanity has turned me to loneliness. Humanity has turned me to silence.

Cats are very clever creatures. I have an outdoor cat I call Speckles, although he is all black. Other times I call him my little black panther as he is lean, sleek and muscular. He always looks after his coat. He can be both cute and vicious. In the morning when he wants his early meal, he snuggles in for an hour or two then purrs and rubs his nose in my face until I give up and get out of bed to feed him. If I'm really tired I go back to bed, I think he hopes I'll forget I fed him so tries ...

I think this sums up evening society well. All the wrong that goes on. I like the hope that day brings. V2, the sound of a loud bass, this knocks off the flow, suggest just the sound of bass, (most of us knows that bass is loud).
I quite like this, not sure of genre, could be country or rap. Gets your point accross to the young, re drugs and the fact he doesnt care, not sure I like the use of live large, I feel this effects the flow, but know why its there. It just says what it means really, could be deeper, and I think drugs effect the rich as much as the poor and the sick.

True, in a way, sometimes people dream of being like us, or they may dream of us if they know us.
