I had been asked many times, why am I writing poetry? How often do I write poetry? For me, it is all about the words. I like words because words can be small and large, there are the right words, sad words, and funny words. I like music and listening to songs. People say when you are happy, you enjoy music, and when you are upset, you pay more attention to the lyrics. The lyrics without music are poetry with rhythm. What is poetry? To see the world in the Grain of Sand. And Heaven in a Wildflower. Hold Infinity in a palm of your hand. And Eternity in an hour. (William Blake) Some people write poems for the thrill and comfort of finding out what are the personal points of thinking and feelings. Other people simply love the way words sound, how they inform, and guide the conversation. There is some kind of relief of what I crave in the process of weaving something whole and surprising as the element from various sounds and symbols. You never know where the inspiration comes from. When I am fascinated by the story or event and when I'm excited, the poem takes life.
