New England is where my heart is at!

I have been writing my entire life but after an episode of severe hypaxia that lead to brain damage my writing and comrahensive skills are not like they used to be. 

Did you all know that Walt Whitman, Ezra Pound, and T. S. Eliot wrote in Free Verse? (I did not know that and I personally think that's very cool because I mainly write in Free Verse and I love Walt Whitman and T.S. Eliot!)

Aristotle believed there were three categories of poetry: epic, tragic, and comic.
Haiku is one of the short poetry styles.
Poetry helps improve your vocabulary!

Poetry is ancient and it's a fact that even primitive people have written poems.
The French poet, Paul Valery defined poetry as the unique intersection of language and state of mind.
So, there's just some fun facts that I have learned and wanted to share with you all!

I wish that everyone would give my book "An Open Diary" a chance and I truly believe that everyone can write.

I will soon enough be posting another new poem and be sure to read the new one that I have posted below this blog entry. ❤
