Hello,

My name is Donna, AKA StormyLynn (sometimes known as StormySeas)

I am from the East Coast... Delaware is my home state where I currently reside but have lived in many other places, such as, Delaware for the first 17 years of my life, Tennessee for 1 year, New Jersey for 5 years, Pennslvania for 18years, Iowa for 10 years and finally back to my home state where I was born. Somehow I've always wondered if we all eventually land back in the place we started.

* I was not a particularly good student in high school and part of that is the actual school I attended which was horribly lacking in qualified teachers and had an underlying tone of religious fanaticism which was the main stay of our alleged education, more specifically a steady diet of Bible classes and not so much academia. * I rebelled as a young girl here, which truth be told was frowned upon and would make any good Pastor want to make you "right"

It was quite the Hell-Fire and Brimstone atmosphere with every bit of blasphemy, hypocrits and sinister hands at the wheel.

* One thing I learned about myself early on is that I had a secret I held dear to my heart and it was that I excelled in English with astonishing ease. It wasnt a professor with a unique and interesting background that taught this to me, It was in fact something within myself it was my was my own on fascination with words and how incredibly infinite they were. Stringing them together in many different ways achieving so many different emotions, I knew that I could easily escape into writing and it was a comfort and joy that no one had taught me but one I had discovered.

For all the schooling I knew I was lacking, I was able to spell and write and had an uncanny understanding of the English language from a very young age. From a very young age I underdtood the power and beauty of words.

This never came from any books in my desk but most assuredly from my own heart... and I've been writing ever since.

Im so happy I found the poetry cove and I am so excited to meet other poets

I believe there may be nothing more fascinating than a person who has a pocket full of words, all unique to each writer even if we use a lot of the same words it is beyond comprehension how infinite and beautiful each of our words really are.

i have a few to lend if you have one I may borrow.
