What is your favorite genre? Can you provide a link to a site where we can read some of your work or learn something about it?
I was born with the soul of a poet. I love poetry with structure, rhyme and a message carrying a lesson to be learned. I naturally gravitated toward Proverbs and the Book of Psalms in the Old Testament and find the wisdom and beautiful use of language an inspiration. I have a blog at http://pamrobinsonporterfield.blogspot.com and also a page on Facebook accessed at www.facebook.com/TheArtAndPoetryOfPamRobinsonPorterfield. My poetry books are available to e-borrow or purchase on my page at Amazon.com or just Google Pam Robinson Porterfield.
