There is just something about experiences - life experiences - that can only be learned by living. Your writing shows those experiences. It is so clear that you have experienced so much already, and your choice of words and rhythms illustrate that fact. You say your writing has been cathartic and you have been writing since you were very young - I, too, cannot NOT write, and have been writing as long as I can remember. :-) You are a talented individual and an inspiration to us who want to share our thoughts and express our innermost emotions through our poetry. And thank you for your comments on a few of my poems, Gary. I truly appreciate the feedback, much more so than the "votes". Keep the pen to the paper! - Angela

Gary, Your poems are so meaningful. Keep up the GREAT work. So many people can relate to what your saying...and the time frame in which alot of these were written, also take me back...- Andrea

I'm living on
cobwebs and caffeine,
nicotine nights and
fade away days.
