This collection of 80 poems is meant to bring encouragement and inspiration to anyone who has ever thought, or dreamed, of writing, whether personally or professionally. Writing takes many forms, whether it's a letter, diary, blog, article, story, play, poem or novel. I will confess my writing leans in favor of fiction.

These poems are also meant for readers because we cannot have one without the other. The goal of any author is to have universal appeal. Thank you for considering the work of this author.

"Poetry is music in words."
