The GreenOgress

ELAINE M. MULLEN, better known as the GreenOgress on Google, Twitter, Scriggler.com and other writing platforms, responding to a question of why she writes, answered: "To stay alive. Although my mind plays a critical role, if I did not write, my heart would shrivel from atrophy, as it is there many of my poems and short stories originate. I believe it is why they appeal to and engage so many readers' interest, intelligence, imagination, identifi cation and ideals." Feeling that poetry should never be something to be deciphered nor limited to an esoteric, small group with extremely high IQ's; her writing appeals to a wide and diverse audience because she deliberately writes to one.
