I have been writing poetry most of my life. Just in the past five years I have gone into overdrive. I have published ten of my poems and a children's book titled "The Possum Riders." The book was based on my poem of the same title. I was one of the "Class Clowns" all through school and haven't changed much. I spent the last 30 years in south Alabama and in the metro Atlanta area. I taught fifth grade and often read my poems to my students. What a joy that was! I love life, and I love to write about it. I mostly write poems, but I also write parodies and short stories, and I am constantly working on future episodes of "The Possum Riders."
