This page is dedicated to creative Bus poets, and to the faerie princess, herself, whose music and lyrics have inspired me, Tori Amos, my favorite singer/songwriter/pianist.
Like Tori, I view my poems as my children, because some of them are easily born,
and some take much laboring to come out. I will get up
in the middle of the night if an idea springs to mind, and write it down, so as not
to forget it. Sometimes I like to write about other people's idea, impromptu, and enjoy
doing this and am always amazed at what comes out.
My poems are all slices of who I am and my experiences. And thus they are very private.
The poems take on their own distinct shape and personality. I do not follow any style or form,
the poems just write themselves, and I am just the messenger. I write about everything and
anything.
As a victim of sexual/physical/emotional abuse, I write about my demons and find
it a very cathartic and releasing experience. By putting my story on paper, I am able to
heal that part of me that has been silenced, giving it a voice, and empowering myself, breaking
the chains of victimization and helplessness. I also write about life, love, ideals,
relationships, people, death/suicide, sex, and things that incense me and things that
I am fervent about.
My poetry spurt, is indebted to the Creative Bus poets, who have showed me the way
to put my pen to the paper and make the words flow out. And foremost, my poetry has been
influenced by the greatest poets in my mind, Jewel, Jim Morrison, Alanis Morissette,
Radiohead, Edgar Allen Poe, and the faerie princess herself, and catalyst of all of this Tori Amos.
I welcome you to take this journey with me...leaving your prejudices and natural concepts
aside to come inside my inner world. I would also appreciate your feedback and criticism of my
poems. This homepage is under construction, as it is my first time making one, and I also
welcome suggestions, on how to make it a more aesthetic piece. Thanks for visiting
my page, and again, welcome!
