Wordsongs, my series of books. The idea came back in the 1970s, when I realized many of my poems were like songs or could be songs: WORDSONGS! Each book in this series is made up of 20 poems, designed like a record album, with a side one and side two. Each book has an underlying theme. The newest one, WORDSONGS-Too Blue is all about the blues!

Dreams inspire me directly, and just daily life. Life's adventures, trials and tribulations, often get the muse tapping on my shoulder, saying, "Get this down quick, before it is gone!"

Be true to yourself. Write what you know about; stuff from your own life experience. No matter what, don't let anything stop you from doing your dream, whatever it may be.

The instant gratification I get from creating something unique out of thin air.

I don't. I am a poet and, even though most poets have writer's block, I do not. That is because I only write when I am inspired . . . when it pours out of me. Other writers have said, "You should write something everyday. You should work at polishing your craft." Although this is the recommendation for most writers, it just is not how I work. If I try and force something, it shows. My poetry has poured out of me since I was a boy and there is something very fulfilling about completing a piece that just comes, of it's own volition, from inspiration.
