There's Not Too Much Difference Between Writing

My Wife Used To Tell Me One Of My Best Qualities Was That My Feet Don't Smell, But I Remember My Brother's Did When We Were Kids.

Writing Gives Me The Opportunity To Explore Ideas, Play With Language, Solve Problems, Use My Imagination, And Draw On My Own Childhood.

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.

I'm Mostly Influenced By Life, What's Around Me, And My Own Childhood.

The Sound Of A Word Is At Least As Important As The Meaning.
