Please tell us a little about yourself:
I’m just a retired guy
who started writing poetry last October.
I divorced about four years ago and have four grown children. I enjoy writing and reading other poets work
and aspire to be the best poet I can be.
I wrote this for Free
Write Friday For Ellie, Magic In the backyard:
Tell me about your blog(s), about the name and
what it means to you?
I named it “Michael’s
Lair” and it’s a Just Write WordPress.com site.
www.booguloo.wordpress.com The
blog gives me an outlet for expression.
I realize the blogs name and the address are different but originally it
was going to be called Booguloo’s Blog and I had everything set up and didn’t
want to go through the process again.
When did you start blogging?
I started October 2010.
Your first poem, do you remember it?
Yes I do. It was in
grade school and too silly to write here.
Is there a style of writing you prefer?
I prefer the rhyming
style of poetry. I have done free verse
when I couldn’t find the right rhyming poem.
Do you write something else besides poetry?
I have done micro
fiction but I’ve only have put a couple on the blog.
Favorite poem you've written?
There are so many that
I like, but this one is special to me.
Inspirations! Where do you find them and what
makes you comfortable writing?
Writing initially was
and is a cathartic event for me. Inspirations come from everyday occurrences or
situations mostly. I like
writing about real things in people's lives with some easy to understand verses
that others can relate to. I do have my days of silliness and
lightheartedness.
Favorite books? Authors?
The Bible and The Big
Book, for alcoholics and addicts are my favorite books. I have a very short attention span and I find
these two books allow reading short passages and being able to absorb the
content to be more satisfying.
Being part of Jingle community, what are the
benefits?
Having a chance to show
your work to others and being able read others in a community setting. The comments are a great benefit for the ego
and for polishing your work among others who look for the same thing.
Any advice for people who would like to write
poetry?
Continue to write and
learn all you can. It takes a while to
find a niche unless you are very talented and you’ll know when it happens.
Participate in every event you feel comfortable in doing; read your fellow
poets writing and comment but most of all try to have fun. The more you read and participate the quicker
you begin to learn.

Hello.
I like booguloo's responses. Being a part of a community and receiving feedback is indeed great for the ego, but it also gives one a chance to learn and grow. We all have our own unique styles and no one's style is right or wrong. The main thing is to enjoy what you do and have fun along the way.
Awesome interview!
Nice to know you!
yes, the important thing is to like what you do, and have fun doing it. :)
keep it up,
poet booguloo,
