I'm an avid poet who first developed a love for poetry when I wrote my first poem in the second grade (eons ago), and it was published in the school paper. Since then I have written a great deal of poetry, and have been published in many different venues, including two books. I write poems for the everyday person who doesn't often read poetry. They are often a much tougher crowd than most poetic critics. I must admit a certain penchant for verse which utilizes rhymes. I guess that makes me Old School. I'm a Psychologist, who currently works with individuals who have a developmental disability. My e-mail address is Pontiacpoetry@aol.com
