This was my first attempt at making a meme, a few years ago. I love puns lol. An early memory is when I was about two years old. Language, both speech and print, seemed like gibberish to me. But I saw how powerful a single word could be. I didn't have much power, and I wanted it. Writing is frustrating sometimes, but I love it. I don't do it a lot for work; I've been a laundry aide for a nursing home since 2008. I've been a police wife since 1999. |
poems, mostly non rhyme fee verse, I've also written some short stories, but not for years. |
I've set a few challenges to myself: to write a science subject, a conversation poem, to compose in Spanish (not translate). |
