SF - Why and When did you start writing creatively? GWB - I started writing my poetry to express some feelings I had that was hard for me to speak out loud. When I started writing poetry? I actually started writing poetry while in the U.S. Air Force. I would write letters to my then fiancee and put a poem on each one. The fellas in my unit caught on to my poetry and ask me to create a few for their ladies. Boy, if I had only charged them......lol!!! SF - Where do you get the inspiration for your poems? All poems are inspired by what I have experienced, seen or world events. SF - Are there parts of you contained in your works?
