I am 41 years old and live in a small town in West Yorkshire, where I also work, in a shop. I have enjoyed writing since I was young, and this has continued throughout the years. Poetry has always inspired me, and a few years ago I felt I wanted to try my hand at writing poems myself. The subjects just seem to come to me from nowhere. Sometimes I am lying in bed when I get an idea. Sometimes a family member or friend says something which gives me inspiration for a poem. I even sometimes get an idea while I am at work. My poems are intended to be meaningful, and I hope they will inspire others, and help them to achieve their dreams. Writing poetry also ties in with another of my interests, namely tarot reading. I am interested in all things spiritual and see myself as a very spiritual person. I think this is reflected in my poems. I hope that everyone who reads them both enjoys them and gains some kind of benefit, so that they feel good afterwards, as I often do when I read other writers' works.
