where the writers are

Teri Holcomb's Biography

Member Info

Cypress, TX
I have never been married.
Oct 2009

I wouldn't say that I found poetry, more that poetry found me.  in 2005 I was sitting outside my favorite little coffee shop and I just wrote a poem.  Grant it, it was a little juvenile, seeing as I had never written a poem before.  Nonetheless I was quite proud of it.  Since then, my poems have really evolved and are very personal, very real aspects of my life. 

I also like to write stories.  I have never finished out a story idea, but one day I am hoping too.  I told my mom the basis for one and she said it was a really good idea.  So, one day...

 When I am not writing, I am a single mother to a beautiful 9-month old daughter.  She is my world, and sometimes my inspiration.

Nora Roberts; Rainer Maria Rilke; Edgar Allan Poe; Robert Frost; my friend Marlon Lizama
