Hi to everyone,
I just wanted all of you to know how happy I am to be hosting a radio show on BlogTalk Radio. I am a victim of poetry really. I was sick and in the hospital and I couldn't walk. I was sitting in a room with a friend and a man came in from the activity dept. there. He said to me that he wanted to chat awhile. My friend left and we sat and talked. He could tell I was depressed as hell. We talked for nearly 1 1/2 hours and he listened. Something that someone had not done for a long time. I had a lot bottled up. His name was Milton.

Milton, gave me encouragement and said that this was just a stop on a journey of life. He said that I would  find new ways to occupy my time and new ways to live. He was so right.
Milton gave me this book of poems that were religious in nature. I am a believer but can only  take so much religion forced down my throat. Well, I started reading and realized that I could write like that. That these people were even published. So, I asked for some paper and a pen and I was off writing poetry. Milton was the person who started the poetic verse. So, blame him.

He is a good friend even though I've moved away from that area. I hope someday that he can be helped like he helped me. Since those days I have been writing many poems and will never stop. It would be great to have a book but having a web site and the power of blogs and Blogtalk Radio will surely balance it all out.
More later...
