“My Thoughts On Poetry & Life...”

I have always had a true love for the written word.

Poetic non-fiction touches my heart and soul, bringing forth

a feeling that I have yet to convey through words alone.

My ability to express myself through writing has, at times,

caused me much trouble. I have learned that some people

do not want to know what you are really feeling; and to

them, words are better left hidden within. Poetry, to me,

is a medicine and a balm to the soul. It can soothe and

draw out the blues from within me. For me, it is survival.

I compare life to a roller-coaster, many ups and downs.

I have been to the heights of joy and to the depths of sorrow.

However, seeming that sorrow prevails; still, I would not

exchange it for standing safely on the ground. Reckless,

though, it may seem; the Coyotee still has dreams...
