I started this blog just before Christmas. It was originally a private blog, only viewable by family and friends who wanted to read my poetry, but didn't want to join Writing.com to read it. Most of these stories are from real life experiences and historical events. All of the poetry is in a rhyming format, so you might not bother looking at it if you don't like rhymes. I feel that these are special, because they are heartfelt and not like nursery rhymes. You will also find a few song lyrics on the site. These have been entered into contests. Most all of these posts have won an award on Writing.com. I hope you enjoy reading all of the posts. You are welcome to leave your comments. Thank you.
