I've Been Influenced By Poets As Diverse

I Look For Poetry In English Because It's The Only Language I Read.

I Would Go To Sketch Groups And Draw. I Really Enjoyed The Subject Matter, But I Wasn't Good At It.

Children Seem Naturally Drawn To Poetry - It's Some Combination Of The Rhyme, Rhythm, And The Words Themselves.

I Invented Animals And Birds - I Had About Two Dozen. After Working On Them For Six Months, I Sat Down And Just For Fun Wrote Two Dozen Poems To Accompany The Drawings. It Was For No One To Every See, But A Friend Sent Me In To An Editor.

I Keep A Guitar Around While Writing And Will Improvise Music. I Do This For Several Reasons, Such As That It's Fun, And Sometimes It Helps Me With The Meter.
