I enjoy using my life's experiences to embellish my poetry. I'm especially proud of my poem "The Flags Waved on a Hillside in France" that started out as a prompt from The Writer's Cramp contest, then won the 2018 Quill award for best medium length structured poem. It is a great honor. I appreciate writing.com and their members for all that I've learned about the craft and look forward to discovering the massive amount of information still out there.
