I'm a former special education teacher/administrator. I'm a father of two daughters and a son the grandfather of five grandsons and the great grandfather of three great granddaughters. I'm an American Legion Chaplain and I have been writing poetry since I was in the second grade (1941). Though I minored in English, I've had no formal training in the art, but enjoy haikus, rhyming and free flow poetry.

He who dreamt that freckles denoted youth
and innocence was just plain dead wrong. -
From the warm depths of dreamless sleep
I awaken to toss and turn the night through.

rainyday woman on November 29, 2008OK! I just have to say that the pen-name intrigued me when I first saw it. I'm sure I'm wrong but the first thing I thought was, this is a Chiago Bears fan. After all "sweetness" ( Walter Payton) had the jursey # 34. So after I got to your page I could see I was right, I was wrong. Anyway welcome and I hope you have a good time.
