Heart Pictures: The 411

I started writing heart pictures about the time I graduated from HS. I have always loved poetry and writing poems but I discovered that I didn't write about things that most poets wrote about. Most poems are about love, death, romance etc. I was always enamored by life, the ordinary moment and the extraordinary ones. The times in your life when you heart takes a picture.

And so I began my journey. In college I was studying English with a creative writing emphasis so I decided to use my heartpictures as a way to improve my poetry skills and my improv writing. I would write a poem every monday. This poem would not be thought of ahead of time or be one that I had previously written. No, I would write this poem off the top of my head. Now sometimes they turned out wonderful but other times they were a big flop.

Thanks to a lot of support and encouragement many of my heartpictures ended up being published in poetry books, magazines, and in various other places.

Now with my move and a little bit of being able to settle down I think I have found a new home for my heartpictures. Feel free to comment, correct, expound, and enjoy!
