My Wife Used To Tell Me One

I'm Usually Working On Eight Or 10 Things At Once.

Children Seem Naturally Drawn To Poetry - It's Some Combination Of The Rhyme, Rhythm, And The Words Themselves.

She Comes By Night, In Fearsome Flight, In Garments Black As Pitch, The Queen Of Doom Upon Her Broom, The Wild And Wicked Witch.

I Keep A Guitar Around While Writing And Will Improvise Music. I Do This For Several Reasons, Such As That It's Fun, And Sometimes It Helps Me With The Meter.

I Invented Animals And Birds - I Had About Two Dozen. After Working On Them For Six Months, I Sat Down And Just For Fun Wrote Two Dozen Poems To Accompany The Drawings. It Was For No One To Every See, But A Friend Sent Me In To An Editor.
