Milton Roderick Brown

I was born in, 1956, in Gordo, Alabama.  After a three year tour in the Army, I returned to Gordo, making it my home.  My foremost inspiration to write poetry comes from L.F. Gengery's, "Memory Trail" , Robert Frost, and Edgar Allen Poe.  In 2002, I began writing poems that I knew I would enjoy reading.  I have always looked at things a little differently and knew I wanted to put those impressions on paper in poetry form.  I suppose my poems would be considered light verse due to their rhyming.  But, I try to make them unique and have some depth.  The poems I am showcasing are compiled into my book, Kept Simple, which I self-published in 2010.  I am currently working on another poetry book.
