Background and Major Influence - Life.   I am an amateur scribbler; however, I very much enjoy the cathartic outlet of releasing the pent up "whatever" and emoting thru a poem - it's that or embracing (more so?!) sundry other vices - ha. I am appreciative of being able to vent my joy and angst ,whilst obtaining independent third party perspectives. Makes you wonder how well we would all relate if we ever met - each knowing at least a facet of the other's marshmellow center. Something upon which to reflect. But be that as it may - I remain, despite all obstacles (of which there are many!), The Happy Pig.
