About Me…
I was born in Jerome Idaho in 1940. The oldest of six children. I wrote my first poem when I was eight years old for the prettiest girl in my class. It got a big smile so I was inspired to write more. I wrote the poem “Broken Chain” at the passing of a family member. I wrote a second bereavement poem, “Teardrops” when we lost a grandchild. I have written poetry for family weddings, and other occasions, and have now written over 300 poems. Several are licensed and can be found on wall plaques, woven throws, cups, bookmarks, and even headstones. At the encouragement of family members, and the help of my son and wife, I have put together a book of 84 bereavement poems titled, “Poetry Of Comfort & Hope for The Grieving.” Now, after so much writing about Grief, I find myself in the lighter side of Poetry.
I hope you enjoy my writings.
