Otherwise I Don't Read Much Adult Poetry

When I Began Writing, I Didn't Read Any Other Children's Poets... I Didn't Want To Be Influenced Until I'd Found My Own Voice. Now I Read Them All.

She Comes By Night, In Fearsome Flight, In Garments Black As Pitch, The Queen Of Doom Upon Her Broom, The Wild And Wicked Witch.

Frankly, Writing Poetry For Children Is Plain Old Fun, And I Consider Myself Blessed To Have Such A Delightful Career.

My Reading Is Extremely Eclectic. Lately I've Been Teaching Myself Computer Graphics, So I'm Reading A Lot About That. I Read Books Of Trivia, Of Facts.

Then I Decided To Draw From And On My Own Imagination, And Everything Came Out Perfect.
