My name is Hastings Alexander. I write poetry not out of choice but out of inspiration. Writing poetry seems to flow for me, when that moment strikes. Many of the poems in my portfolio are based on my personal relationships with people. "I am a boy made of steel" was inspired by a young boy who lost his mother from cancer while struggling with his own battle with cancer. "Another Day" is an expression of myself. I suffer from depression and when I wrote Another Day, it was one of those days. I have a Master of Arts degree in Management; a B.A. in Political Science and Bus. Admin.
