I am 44 yrs old. I have been writing poetry since I was a teen. I've been published through a journal called Cyber Rez back in 1997-1998 and I've been published by a online journal called Autumn Leaves where my Pen name is TaMapiya Wachi. I just had another poem published this last month called Deja Vu - a war vets story, by Autumn leaves. With a great possibilty of publishing several more through Autumn Leaves.
It is my dream and goal to be a published Poet.
I am a mom of 4 children and 1 angel boy. I live with chronic pain due to a in-operative birth defect, but life goes as Life does. I often write Ingenous Theme but also war-vet and No i've never been in the military.
In a body that feels not of my own
A stranger, I touch but I do not feel
It betrays me, it teases and taunts and intimidates me.

She gathered the young
Stared within the flames of the fire
She spoke of life before and life after
She was old, crippled but her spirit strong.
...
She touches the wall
Etched carvings dug deep
From a past...
She gave him her heart
