I write poetry, fiction and songs. I love sonnets and have attempted to write many. I "invented" a new form of sonnet which I call the "Story" Sonnet. LIFE CYCLE was the first of this type and can be found here on Authors Den. I am a Vietnam Vet. I was a Navy Corpsman and served in Danang from June, 1967 to June, 1968. I was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi and grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. I was an independent trucker for years but I've been a real estate broker for the past 15 years. I am married to an incredible lady and I have two wonderful children.
