My desire to write poetry sparked years ago when I penned a few rhyming poems. Eventually, I drifted to other forms, Haiku at one time being a favorite. With each new discovery, I enjoy developing my own poetic style. For Haiku, it was easy to shift toward Hawaiian Haiku.
When introduced to the Japanese form of linking poetry, Renshi, I quickly fell in love with the idea of composing my own compilation. An enthusiasm for "romancing the poem" resulted in the collected works entitled ANOTHER NEW BEGINNING 70 Poems for 70 days. After writing and publishing the 70 poems, I gifted the book to 70 family members and friends. A favorable reception encouraged me to continue my journey of discovery in a world filled with delights.
Along the way, I continue to acquire knowledge from generous poets willing to discuss the writing process and compare thoughts evoked from written phrases. In appreciation, I am posting articles about and excerpts from my first and subsequent collections. Also, I will be "Paying It Forward" with author interviews, and reviews of inspirational and poetry-themed books.
And another blog site is born!
