<div style="padding-top:10px;" class="norm" align="left">The majority of my writing has a twist (or multiple twists) and much of it is philosophical, mysterious, supernatural, or some combination of the aforementioned. My dream job would be writing for a television series, while simultaneously working on a movie screenplay!

A time known for Santa and elves and reindeer.<br />
When trees dress in lights and wear stars as a crown,<br />
With garland and icicles worn as a gown.<br />
<br />
Colorful lights deck the halls—red and green,<br />
Holly and mistletoe complete the scene.<br />
A new welcome mat, a wreath for the door.<br />
Then a last minute shopping trip to the store.<br />
<br />
The children in bed, pretending to sleep.<br />
A noise on the roof, then downstairs they creep.<br />
Presents arranged by the tree in a row,<br />
Nobody in sight, just a note: “Ho, Ho, Ho!”</b><br />
