I'm an art student and secretary. When I'm not working I love to paint and write. I've been writing poetry for over ten years now, but I can still remember the day when I wrote my first. I was raiding my mother's bookshelf when I came across a beautiful book filled with many different poets, I had to of been 8 or 9 years old at the time, and though I can't remember which book it was now, I do remember reading some poems by Emily Dickinson. It was the first time the thought of writing came to my mind, to create something of my own. I couldn't hurry enough to get a pen and paper into my hands.
