Hello, my name is Ronald Odom. I live in Durham, North Carolina. I have been writing poetry for ten years. It is a passion that allows me to express my innermost thoughts and feelings. I am married and I have three sons. Currently I work at Duke Hospital, and I have been there for about thirty years. I am a graduate from Durham High School. (Go Bulldogs!) My goal is to become a household name and to hopefully have the words God has given me be an uplifting inspiration to all who take the time to indulge themselves in reading my poetry.
