Frankly writing poetry for children is plain old fun and I consider myself blessed to have such a delightful career.
Children seem naturally drawn to poetry - it's some combination of the rhyme...
I write poetry in order to live more fully.
My mom was a single mom and she had enough on her plate. I knew when I was doing something I wasn't supposed to and I tried to keep her from finding out about it. I did a pretty good job of that.
