WOOLENWORDS’s Profile

My name is Darlene and I am the mother of five children. My life is probably similar to any typical American mother. I started writing poetry as a teenager, little depressing poems of life and love. Then when I had my first child I said to myself every time something unbelievably funny happened I have to write this down. But just putting it on paper in detail was not enough to make me believe it was exciting, so I wrote poems explaining what happened and it made the difference in the telling of our story. So now I document every step of our lives with poetry.
