My poetry journey started in the early 1990's when I wrote my first poem, "Life (Tides)", based on a photo I captured, and my own experience, of a Florida sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean.  I continued writing off and on during my years as an elementary teacher.  I'm retired now, and fully immersed in this exciting and unique literary art form.  I thank my Book Peeps friends, and my fellow poets at Cincinnati Poetry Project (a  sub-group of The Cincinnati Writers Project), for your valuable feedback.  As I write the words,  creating poetic images, I hope to bring those words together with my other poetic images -- the photographic kind.  I live in Milford, Ohio, near Cincinnati.
