Children seem naturally drawn to poetry - it's some combination of the rhyme rhythm and the words themselves.
Frankly writing poetry for children is plain old fun and I consider myself...
I write poetry in order to live more fully.
I like making sci-fi movies because I like watching sci-fi movies. I like watching horror. I like being in a horror movie. I'm a fan. My perspective's a little different just because I get to participate as well as spectate.
