I write poetry (traditional and Japanese type of poetry called Haiku ) and short stories. But I am not a published author yet as I am still an amateur. It's still a long way to reach that ultimate goal of mine. But I won't give up. I am also a member of the Yuki Teikei Haiku Society which is based in northern California. I am also a member of the Humane Society of the United States in which its main purpose is to help animals (wild and tamed) that are homeless, abandoned and abused, I also play piano occasionally when I have convenient time. My favorite pieces are by Mozart, Chopin, Saint Saens and more.
