The poem "My Bike and..." and my story
This is my son Max who is featured in my poem "My Bike and..." People kept asking me if I had any poems about biking. Well, I didn't. Then I shared my ideas with Max on a ride and voila, the poem was born, and it has become very popular.
I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager. It was always a little hobby that I didn't put much attention to until the great pandemic. I thought that my pandemic project would be to write helpful learning moments for others. I started rhyming them and finally got the courage to ask others if they liked them. People encouraged me, and now I have a few hundred poems. I am fortunate to be working with Mark Victor Hansen Libraries and my first book is planned for publication in 2025. Mark is the co-author with Jack Canfield of Chicken Soup for the Soul. Thank you Jeff Hoffman for introducing me to Mark and Carol. By signing up below you'll be the first to know about my next poetry reading (NYC), and updates about my book, TAPAS: Tasty, Inspirational Poems, Reflections, Suggestions, Meditations, and Confessions
