Personal Reflections Andrea Lynn Wojcik

FORWARD When I first began writing poetry, I was chatting online with my girlfriend in Florida. At the time, she was cleaning and painting her house while her mom was in the hospital. She was so sore with pain that it inspired me to write a poem to her. Then, the greeting card industry agitated me because I was unable to find a greeting card that expressed my sentiments. Soon I began writing poetry for the greeting cards that I sent to family members. A few years later, I filed for divorce and decided to put my feelings down on paper. It helped me immensely while I was going through such a devastating time in my life. Now I write poetry for the sheer enjoyment of it, and am proud that I have the ability to capture my feelings and sentiments in an artistic form.
