I have loved poetry for a number of years but in past 17 years have written my own. My favorite poets are Emily Dickinson, William Blake, Robert Frost, Katherine Mansfield, and Christina Rossetti. I also like to read, listen to classical music but also like other types of music, walking in the countryside. I am 69 and have been happily married for 33 years to Christine and love to regularly attend church and enjoy the countryside together.

the storm of saying any word
