Biography

I have been named The Fighter by my Multiple Sclerosis support group. I suppose because I refuse to give up. I have had MS for 33 yrs. and you wouldn't know it if I didn't tell you. My husband and I are survivalists. You name it we have 100 of them. Since we both have degrees in the medical field (me a bachelors, him a biomedical engineer) we are prepared to survive anything. I have been writing poems for over 20 yrs. I write my feelings and experiences to cope with life. My son bought me a lether bound book to write them in and said I should publish it. Well I don't know about that! All I do know is that our poems are the windows to our souls and hearts. A self medication for depression and a way to say things when we can't seem to talk about it. I hope someone reads my poems and GETS IT! If not that's OK. I am putting them here for those who have experienced similiar things just to say your not alone. Thank-you for your time. The Fighter

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
