danielle-luongo - Hello Poetry

danielle-luongo

American I write poetry only when it feels right. Only when the burst of emotion is strong enough, and I'm motivated to sit down. Otherwise, my poems get lost in the expanse of my head. / / I'm an English teacher, which I think takes away from my likeability as a poet, but as my 19 year old sister would say: "Whatevs". You'll always find me with at least 2 worn books in my giant purse. I also like dinosaurs, cheap wine, and a good laugh.
