I am an aspiring wanna-be writer. I have been a steady contributor on another writing site for over two years. My focus to date has been Japanese short forms and personal essay. I work in a bank and also dabble ijn oil painting. I have three adult sons and six grandchildren. A few of the poets I enjoy are Tess Gallagher, May Sarton , Kahlil Gibron and Anne Sexton. I have had a few poems published over the years in small publications.
