Honey's Poetry Page
Poetry has long been a passion of mine. As a very young child, I would make things rhyme, and act poems out to entertain my family. Later, in my adolescent days, I actually thought I would become a famous poet some day. I became a teenager and my friends would call on me to write a verse for them to give to their "love" of the week. I write a verse now and then these days just to entertain myself, and for special events and people in my life.
I wrote this for my sister several years ago
Here is some of the poetry that has inspired me. A collection of James Whitcomb Riley is especially dear to me, since he is a distant cousin of mine, and I grew up hearing his verses from my mother. She would read from his works as she would read to us from the Bible. A book of his poems was ever present in our home.

I learned recently that James Whitcomb Riley had a life that was never talked of in the past. He was a bachelor his whole life, but he had a very special lady friend. Here is a small collection of his letters to her.
