~ The Poet's Place Cafe~

This was a timely topic. I'm at a point in my writing where I'm not happy with most of my new stuff because it doesn't sound like me. It feels forced - like I'm trying to shave off my own edges to fit in the wrong box, but I don't want a box at all. Does that make sense? I was doing well for a while, sort of finding my own groove, so I'm not sure what happened.

Long story short (too late), I've been wading through my older stuff trying to identify what I was building on before I tried to be "better" - but not a better me. I found this one - and despite my ability to write some seriously adult stuff, I love writing children's poetry and stories. Definitely grounds for 2 pen names if there ever was one!

I grew up with a bunch of pets - basically a zoo - so, here's my oldie but one of my personal favourites.
