I have a way with my words you could say. I took a chance last year. I entered three poems in this wordsmith competition for writers with disabilities. I thought Americans with Disabilities stand up! I have a mental illness so I was talking about myself and all of the other amazing participants in the 22nd Annual NJ Wordsmith competition. I love to win poetry prizes but this was my first major poetry honor. I am so glad I had pictures taken by the sweet East Indian guy I dated for over a year who supported me in every way. He is sweet but he’s a real gentleman too. I went up to receive my certificate of appreciation and he snapped a few pictures of me reaching to take my certificate. He also encouraged me to put my poetry honor on LinkedIn. Sweet memories of 2016!
I’m a wordsmith. I’m a poet and I love to sing songs.
