Thank you Mia, I never know what I am going to write about, I sit down and my fingers begin to typoe. I have to admit some are to or abut special people in my life, or things that have happened and so the poems are cathargic..... My latest one was inspired by a young man who has just been deployed and my 3rd cousin, it is his story.....he lost lovedf ones to several wars....
