I have always enjoyed poetry, short story, and essay writing..I am not as proficient as I would like to be, so I am hoping to get better at this craft..I am retired, taught school, and had my own catering company..Now that I am retired I have more time to spend doing the things I enjoy most...writing is one of them..I would like my pieces to be honestly critiqued with an aim towrd becoming better and better at all the foms...some of which i like more than others..looking forward to being a part of Poems and Quotes.
