Born June 2, 1959 and now residing in Bellingham, Washington. Joined the U.S. Air Force and traveled extensively during my early adulthood. Ancient History buff. I have been interested with ancient legends and mythologies my entire adult life. Been writing poetry for 30 years 1st as a lyricist now totally focusing on poetry and its own rich historical evolution to what we have now today. Favorite poetic forms are the Celtic Bard traditions that I encountered while living in Germany . I became inspired by an 18th century style, using a unique pentameter over 9 lines per verse. It has become a favorite of mine and I plan to use more often. It is like writing a short story with poetic verse. Also do animations based on fantasy and sci fi themes as well as create posters and artwork.
