"A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit" ~Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull I would like to thank all of you for your feedbacks, I take all of your critiques to heart and use it to my benefit in writing my poems. I tried to thank you all personally, however, there are so many of you. Needless to say, I was able to contact some of you, to those that I have not contact personally, I say THANK YOU. What a wonderful blessing you all are to me,  I am honored to be featured on this site with all of you. Thank you visitors, as well, for dropping by, I appreciate it very much. Please sign my Guidebook before you leave. I would love to know who dropped by. Poetry is a unique way of expressing one's thoughts. Just as an artist paints on canvas, a poet paints with words on paper. It takes a special gift to convey words in such a way that the reader is moved. The pen is not the tool, the words are. A poet uses words to manipulate their thoughts, it is not just words written down on paper, It is words that comes alive, reaches out, and grab you. May God richly bless you all. ~Leona M. Mars

Leona Mars lives in a small community in the state of Oklahoma with her three sons. Her favorite time of the year are the holidays, simply, because everyone is home and no one is rushing off to meet a schedule.   Leona began writing poetry in 1998. Since she was no longer employed and had time on her hands, she began to satisfy the inner yearnings of writing poetry. "It is something I have always wanted to do," says Mrs. Mars. You will soon notice that her poems are based on nature and her Christian faith.   "God gave me this talent, that is why I give him all the glory and praise in the majority of my poems. -Leona M. Mars
