About
I am an aspiring Native American poet who loves to write poetry and in her spare time do bits of research finding lost loved ones for people. I graduated high School in a small town just south of the Mackinaw Bridge with accomplishments such as the Literary Magazine, School Newspaper, Yearbook, and Select Ensemble Finalist under my belt. During this time I got published in The International Library of Poetry and further succeeded with offers afterward for my winning essay “The Accomplishments of Gerald R. Ford as President of the United States” for the Gerald R. Ford renaming ceremony in Grand Rapids, MI. Following I won a cash prize and a spot in the MINACT INC. News of Fall 2004 with U.S. Representative Vernon Ehlers and Ford’s brother Richard Ford.
I’ve taken into relation many of my life’s occurrences in a journal like lyrical form and gathered them to enlightening a narrative struggle of a Native American female trying to come out of her tomboy worldly nature and recognize her inner tribal yearning. Each poem carries its own passionate wording characteristic to something special or important in my life.
Unfortunately in many habits of our nation today poems are cautiously dissected to examine and specify their origin and purpose; whereas the beauty in this passionate are seems to be under a vast shield of confusion and fallacy afraid to reawaken to such a commonly used self expression and honesty. My vast types of writing commences that freedom of expression again in such a way that readers don’t have to feel they are in obligation to scrutinize every poem for its meaning, but freely enjoy the words as they flow to the paper and gradually accept the sensations that arise. Such a striking rose stands in a garden with its innocent splendor at stake in silent anticipation that no one will selfishly pluck its petal and spoil its life. For its removal will give scientific data its will, but will take away the passion that’s been formed in its creation and growth. Therefore the secretly charming blossom that once sprouted from the ground you peered now loses the source of simplicity that your curiosity drew to its existence.
I feel my vast types of poetry and writings stand on that same foundation and tend to get taken with the same misconception of its creation. I have put together many pieces of writing throughout the years as free standing and beautiful as well as to allow the liberty of their minds to absorb every exact account of this lesbian female and her struggle to be.
