I was going to see if I could add a new Interest "All about me" so we could each post something about ourselves so that we can get to know each other better, that is what Mylot is all about right. But I could not figure out how to do it, so I am starting the disucssion here.
Here is a little unknown fact about me that most people do not know. I am a publilshed Poet. The following poem appear in The Anthology of Amature Poets in 1999:
Visions from the past are haunting me
Reminding me of the destiny that was fore told so many years ago
Alone and afraid I jump from shadow to shadow
Careful to hide the tears that walk down my face
Day and another night lay broken and tossed in the shadows with me
May hopes and dreams wither and die with each passing minute
Hours feel like days and days feel like years
Sorrow fills each dyeing ember in my soul
I yearn for the happiness I see in others eyes
With the next passing minutes I will walk into the light
Careful not to let anyone know the horror that fills me
I wrote this after I was diagnosed with MS. It was my own kind of theorpy. I started writing stories and poems when I was 11 and to this day, I still write regularly.
What do you think?

Deep...but very good!
Little-known fact about me? I used to make "White Lightening" (also known as moonshine) with my dad in our garage when I was 11 or 12. Once my mom came home from work and saw three sheriff's patrol cars in our driveway and she just KNEW they were there to arrest my dad. Instead, the Sheriff HIMSELF and two of his deputies came out of our house each carrying thier own brown paper bag tucked under thier arms---they had come to get their own stash! LOL We love telling that story in my family...I can truly say that I come from "coal miners and moonshiners."
