Dora’s Poems

My poems are nostalgically inspired by life, love, and family. I was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, raised by two wonderful parents who tried very hard to raise ten children. I grew up on a street next to the interstate where you could hear the cars on the interstate and see so many people going past. We loved running, playing, and riding our bicycles and homemade go-carts all over the neighborhood till nightfall. I loved where I lived, and I loved growing up with my siblings. We had bad times and good times, but most of all we loved our neighborhood; we loved growing up on Commerce Street. My hobbies are writing, music, singing, swimming, and sewing.
