For many years I kept busy as most do with taking care of home and family, friends and pets, working and everything in between. I now have rheumatoid arthritis and I'm somewhat housebound which gives me plenty of time to enjoy my three websites and I write poems. My poems are not sophisticated, or brilliant, just simple writings filled with memories of my childhood, my imagination, my experiences in life, and my plight with arthritis. I love my poems and don't mind saying so and hope you find some pleasure in reading them too, I will definitely be reading yours.
