A. Louise Robertson: I have written poetry all my life and find that it helps me express my thoughts more clearly than in any other way. As a child I was fortunate to live in a household where poetry and books were appreciated. My father wrote very beautiful verse. One of the love poems he wrote for my mother was published in the Stars and Stripes during World War II. On Sunday evenings after dinner, he would read to the family from his favorite book of poems.
Now that I am a grandmother I enjoy writing more than ever. Although I have written and published novels, I find that going back to poetry really make me happy, to me it is the ultimate way to disclose what I feel. I am thankful for the opportunity to share my words here.
