Started Writting poetry 9 years ago...almost been a decade...at this point i been writing half of my life...started rewriting poems from various authors...from shakespear books to other anthology book...then i descovered i can publish my own poems online...so i did that and for doing that...from Poetry.com to literacy Libraries...I have collected over 2 dozen awards...like....best poem of July 97. Poem of the year 1999, poem of the millennia. poem of the year 2001/2002/2003/2004...but truly and sadly I don't write poems for awards...its a hobbie i like doing while i feel a deep emotion.
