I wrote because the urge to do so grew so strong I couldn't ignore it any more.
And once I started it was like a dam breaking, loads of stuff poured out (mostly absolute crap - thank god it never came into the public domain!) and now (with occasional very dry periods) I still get excited by the creative process and love to snatch moments to write something.
1997 was the year I began to write, and here we are a decade and more late and I am still interested in poetry. Amazing. I have a grasshopper mind and usually I leap on new things and become obsessed with them, but never pursue the object of my love for long...so the writing of poetry must be really special.
(ps as a small, rather sad little child at primary school I used to store up words in my head to recite to myself...I still remember some of them 'peripatetic, aurora borealis, popocatapetl...so a love of words was there right at my beginning)
