I am a Poet. And if I can not give, then I shall refuse to receive ... Khalil Gibran

About Me

Detroit poet, mom and artist currently working on my first CD and book. Great lover of Slam and have been on The Detroit squad several times. Looking to break into the writing world with my first novel ... one day ... but right now, its all about poetry.

My Interests

Poetry/writing, swimming, interior decorating, hanging-out with family/friends or vegging on the couch watching movies

I'd like to meet:

God ... or the Goddess.

Music:

Eclectic, especially with a kid ... but Black Bottom stays in rotation along with Black Eyed Peas, The Roots, System of a Down, Alanis and Common

Movies:

Lord of the Rings, ALL of them ... and most Hollywood hits/favorites and just about every happy-ending-romance-sci-fi-thriller-time travel-murder mystery that has good acting

Television:

Realistic Reality Shows, Bones, The Closer, Grey's Anatomy, Charmed, Buffy and, of course, LOST

Books:

All my favorite books are historical trashy romances :)

Heroes:

My mom
