Author has written 28 stories for Family, General, Life, Religion, Nature, General, Politics, War, and Love.

I write to express myself. If someone else can relate to it, bonus. Let me know in the reviews. Technical criticism, while appreciated, will likely go unheeded. Prose needs structure and can always use an edit or another draft. This is poetry, and it's meant to be exactly the way it is.

For the record, I really did lose my mom and little brother in an accident in 2002, and I really did go to Iraq in 2004. I've lived in a few different states, a couple different countries, and now I'm back home. Life is pretty good these days (knock on wood, right?), so since I usually only write when very upset, I am now uninspired in the poetry department.

Let's keep it that way.

Thanks for visiting,

-Kelly
