Greenspring is my pen name and was derived from a small town in W.VA. The turbulent 60's found me in Washington DC working at the Pentagon. This was an experience in life. With the assistance of mentors I was able to get a degree in Business Administration. Poetry comes rather easy but my one great dream is to write a novel. I was fortunate in finding writing.com shortly after they opened. I am now retired and have begun spending more and more time at this site.
