Hello and thank you for welcoming this: laborer, poet, and freelance writer into your world. A large sum of my life has been spent running around, one way or the other, Houston, TX doing me. Now that I have started expressing myself in a literature way I don‘t see an end. One of my biggest joys comes from writing anew (about other than myself). In the very near future, I plan on traveling to faraway places with the wonderment of a child just learning to walk. I have managed to get four of my poems publish elsewhere (Undertow Tanka Review Issue 5)
