Where Poems Are Born David D Jerald

I was Born November 20th in the State of Washington, USA on the banks of the Snake river. My Dad was in the Military and I grew up in South Carolina, North Carolina, Mississippi, Washington, Oregon, California, and Arizona. I learned good things and bad things traveling from one place to the next. Making friends was a hard thing because it hurt when you left them behind. I learned to read the heck out of a road map. I loved military history, poetry, and Maps. I worked in a cement plant for 30 years before retiring. I now live in Hawaii. The poets that I like the most are Sara Teasdale, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Ella Wheeler Wilcox. EMILY DICKINSON ...... and a lot more.
