Fade to Black

I was born in the latter half of the twentieth century inWestgrove, Pennsylvania. Shortly thereafter, my familymoved to Newark, Delaware where I was educated. My family and I lived in a small stone house that wasprobably a share croppers house, or belonged to oneof the workers that help tend to the farm. I lived a basicrural life with plenty of farm animals, a huge vegetablegarden, and lots of creeks and woods to explore. At twentyI joined the army. After the army I joined the work force,and worked at various jobs through the ups and downsof the vastly changing economy. I started writing poetryin the mid 80s. It seemed to come natural to me. After several prompting from my friends, I decided to putmy collection in a book to share with others.
