Hell'o fellow poets! I am a United States Marine and have been writing poetry since long before I even imagined that I would be in the military. A little background on me: I was born in Manhattan, NY to an E-9 in the Coast Guard and a stay at home mom. My father passed away when I was 15, his passing inspired my joining the military. I'm in the process of attending schools of higher education, but writing remains one of my most profound ambitions. All of my poetry is inspired by actual events that happen in my life and by the people that interact with me on a daily basis. My main topic in my poetry is love, for I feel that nothing else in this world is worth dwelling on! I hope you enjoy my poetry, and I hope that you'll share your constructive criticism and personal opinions. Hope to hear from a large portion of you in the future.
