Tampa, Florida, USA

I am 38 single. I work from my home I only have an 8th grade education. I am a memeber of Lifestyle Family Fitness Center in Brandon Florida. I started writing poetry in seventh grade. Because I was kind of shy. And it was a way to express myself some of the poetry is fiction. But some of my poetry is based on real life experiences. Any one can write to me, preferably single woman. My address is 7507 Melalevca Lane, Tampa, Florida, 33619. I've wrote almost sixty poems all rhyme. I also love sports.


The Death of a Friend

The death of a friend
I try to be brave
But I can't stop the tears
When I visit His grave
Can He be replaced
I don't see how
He was my buddy
He was my pal
I am lonely at home
I am lonely at school
I miss my friend
He was so cool
I go to the park
I try to play ball
But is's not the same
Not at all
My minds a mess
My minds a haze
Lonely nights
And lonely days
I want my friend
I want Him back
The death of a friend
He's not coming back.

What's My Game

When you was a little kid
You used to play a game
You still play me
What's my name

Get a piece of paper
Get your self a pen
If you're good enough at this game
You just might win

You got to get an X
You got to get an O
You got to get more than two
Three in a row

What's my game
You really don't know
Cat got your tongue
It's tick tack toe.

A Little Bit Of Poetry

I am small
A poem I will be
The lines are few
That they must be
Don't blink your eye
So you can see
A cute little poem
Written by me.
