Why Poetry Stories? Poetry for me starts with a vision something which gives inspiration that sets a scene in mind revisited place, a special find. I enjoy painting pictures with a word a memory, perhaps a song I heard to find just the right rhyme to capture a moment in time. Could be a serendipitous occasion or an embarrassing recollection relive feelings in the moment allow tears to well up in a torrent. It is a way of recognition too about small victories, a minor coup perhaps a milestone in this life earned despite obstacles and strife.
