Poems from Terrance Longtin
I'm 62 years old, I am married, I am an artist, I do abstract paintings and sell them locally and on Etsy in Terrance Gallery. I have had 23 major surgeries on my legs, recently Nov 9, Jan 11 and the next one in April. So I have a full leg cast from Nov 9 thru June 28 so I wrote a children's book which has been published and released to the public March 13, 2021. Also I kind of got interested in writing free verse poetry and I have written five so far. I love my cats and my 14 yr old grandson. I'm married to the absolute best wife ever! One of my tattoos is on my forearm, it's from a free verse poem by Walt Whitman called "Song of the Open Road" it's 15 pages long but well worth reading. My tattoo says "all seems beautiful to me" and there's a Chinese symbol for beauty at the end. Walt Whitman is known as the father of free verse poetry. I actually wrote a free verse poem about myself, which I really like.
