My book is about real life poetry, I write from my heart, I write whatever I feel at any given time. I enjoy creating stories, therefore I have a collection of short stories, for children, teens, and adults. I have been writing poetry since a young child. I was a very quiet and shy child, therefore I did not speak much. I remember when I was in my 3rd grade english class and I was told to write about how I felt that day. I remember feeling good when I expressed myself through pencil and paper, so I enjoyed writing from that day on. I write about how I feel and what I see people experience. The majority of my literature stems from real life situations, and some of which I experienced.

Specially designed light field guns carried aboard gunboats and larger warships sometimes supported the bluejackets and marines, customarily when larger parties more likely to face sharp actions went ashore. Most American naval landings of the nineteenth century took place in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America, whereas the following century saw landings against larger and otherwise civil...
