I have a variety of styles. It all depends on my mood, what I'm going through, health. Many variables!
I have always enjoyed playing with words, so poetry is a development of that.
I started writing humorous songs and poems when my eldest daughter was 15. We performed at a Church camp and things have snowballed from that time.
I write anecdotal biographies for my family's special occasions.
One lady from church asked me once when am I going to do serious poetry, as I only ever did humorous pieces. I had three teenagers at home at the time. I could not do serious poetry then. How can you with all those hormones racing around? Now if it was about world war three...
One of the aims I have for my poetry now is for people to develop an interest in the Old Testament. I read Zephaniah in June 2005 and was so cheered by chapter 3(it has only 3 chapters), I was inspired to write a poem on it. So I read Nehemiah, and wrote a poem on that. By this time I was hooked! And so the addiction began...
My Muse will not co-operate
Unless supplied with chocolate -
That's why I spend lots of time
Writing words that will rhyme!

My Poetry

The road ahead was not too clear
And we had a tinge of fear -
I wonder if He heard me
And so I ask again -
When David's life was in a mess / He called on God in his distress, / We read, 'be strong, and take heart' / Because God made His fears dep

Were those Hebrews really fertile / Or could we credit their lifestyle? / I cannot be absolutely sure / 'Cause there are things I can't ignore. / / Egyptian taskmasters made a quota increase / And think pregnanci33 lines, 16 comments, April 29, 2007
