carriebethpoems’s Profile

I have been writing poems since 7th grade where I sat at my desk in school and wrote the very first poem. I wrote about boys and school while my teacher was doing a math problem on the blackboard and she turned around and I quickly hid the poem under my desk. She wanted to know what I was doing and I said nothing. I acted like I was writing a love note or something which I wasn't. She approached me after school to show her what I was writing and I let her see it and read it. She said at that point you are gonna be a famous writer someday. Well, I am by far not a famous writer but have had a poem published in the california famous poets society book with other poems and writers. My grandfather was a poet and he inspired my writings growing up and even well into adulthood. He himself had his own book of poetry published and since then my dream has been to follow behind him and publish me a poetry book someday. I write about my experiences in my life and I write about people I meet and how they inspire me to become a better person. I either dedicate my poems to people or I write a poem that was inspired by a certain song. So you can say I actually am writing my biography just in poetry sense is all.

When I am not writing I enjoy just playing games on the internet. I clean the church building where I attend church and also just try to find other odd jobs like cleaning or taking care of the elderly. I have a 20 year old daughter that is the joy of my life and I love going to movies with her and enjoying her company. We are big movie buffs with a large collection of movies. So come over for a movie and poetry sharing nite. We would love to have you.
