Poets

My modest genesis as poet began by basically hearing melodies in my head then vocally projecting whatever lyrics occurred to my then-6 year old mental capacity. During this stage of development, the inquisitive, wide-eyed youngster was occupied with pastels, graphites, watercolours, etc., rendering mainly natural landscapes, but sometimes delving into areas of abstraction. Eventually, transcribing poetic thoughts onto the page began around the age of 12. Always experimental, my scientific curiosity wondered about how everything operates, to the extent of dismantling mechanical and electrical objects, then reassembling them, resulting in many a failure, however, gaining valuble knowledge in the ongoing process.

Basically self-taught in an array of disciplines including music, philosophy, physics, and foreign languages.

At age 15, with a few of my classmates, I ventured into the rock 'n' roll arena, and we four formed a band with yours truly being, to varying levels of success, bassist/lyricist/singer.

The gradual transformation into a full-fledged wordsmith transpired in my early 20's.

A graduate of Fanshawe College as an electronics technician, I had worked in that field of endeavour for 25 years,9 of which were as co-proprietor of Star Tek Electronic Services. The majority of my time now is spent writing, mostly of the poetic nature, but am finally pursuing other forms with a view now to write 'The Great Canadian Novel.' Are there any? Just jesting, folks.
