WELCOME ALL~~~ I started writing poetry and journaling as a young teenager. I picked up a pen and the words flowed onto the paper. It is instinctive and so much a part of my life I have journals and notebooks everywhere. I have been very protective of my writing until I found this place, so please step in, relax and read. You are welcome to leave a critique, but it's not required, as with any writer, I just wish to be read. Enjoy.~
