60+ years of a whole lotta “was”, “been”, and now “am”
I’ve been writing in some form since my early teens. Journals, poetry, and short stories for the most part. I even studied poetry under Jack Myers at Southern Methodist University. I remember him telling me that, if I am still writing poetry after I hit 30 years old, then I am a poet. So maybe I am.
