Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read my profile.

I write mostly poetry, haikus being one of my favorite forms. My greatest inspiration is nature, so that is what most of my poems are about. You probably won't find too many short stories, simply because I never seem to finish them. I'm working on a few, though, so hopefully, someday soon, I'll be able to share them with you.

I also love reviews, especially those containing constructive criticism. Any suggestions on how to improve my writing are more than welcome and highly encouraged. If you like a poem, that's great and thank you. =) If you don't, please tell me why so I can improve it. Enjoy, and thanks to all who review. I'll try my best to return the favor, although I can sometimes be a bit slow at it.
