Biography as Poetry

Note: this is for Paul Stewart's compilation of poetry from Vocalists.

Can I keep it to fifty words?

Hmm...

- K. D.

*

Born in Canada in a small steel city,

West Indian parents, immigrants too.

Strong interest in literature grew,

I wrote and dreamed up my life quickly.

Lived and travelled (US, England, and Japan

for over three years).

My ambition and endless plans

Brought me right back here.

Now a college instructor and writer;

Single and made to be alone.

Please enjoy this, dear reader

And the others in this tome!
