I have been writing since a young age and have always had a unique perspective of the mad world around me.
My poetry is at its best when dark, but I can find moments to be softer.
I simply enjoy writing and hope people can find some poems they like from my collection.
My first self published book is called ‘Thoughts in Rhyme’ , which is a journey through life in poetry.
My influences are; samurai tradition, aromatherapy, psychology, London, religion, working world, relationships, death, abuse, music, film and the media.
<p>Does your child have ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)?</p><p>Meet David, one of award-winning author Sherrill S. Cannon's "Classroom of Kids," who manages his ADHD with the help of classmates.</p><p>David discovers ways to cope with his hyperactive brain, while learning how to calm and soothe his ADHD. Solutions include setting daily schedules and following simple rules that regulate behavior. His teachers and therapists encourage using the computer for academic advancement, and to establish a pattern for study as well as for occasional recreation. David not only learns self-control and communication skills, but is able to fit into the classroom and make friends.</p><p>Once again social values are emphasized in the author's latest illustrated children's story, and classroom friends from previous books are featured. In fact, David has been part of the class for a long time!</p><p><strong><em>"David's ADHD</em></strong><em> is a timely topic for parents and children. A story in rhyme that demystifies ADHD. It explains a youngster's behavior in terms of his inattentiveness and impulsivity and how it impacts those around him. A sensitive way of creating understanding for children with ADHD and their families."</em> - <strong>Dr. Valerie Allen, licensed school psychologist</strong></p><p><strong>Author Bio: </strong></p><p>Former teacher Sherrill S. Cannon has won 76 awards for her previous 11 rhyming books. She is also the author of seven published and internationally performed plays for elementary school children. The author has been called "an absolute master of rhyming" and "a modern-day Dr. Seuss."</p>
The book is a collection of thoughts of what I had seen, heard or done. I used a loose form to keep the idea theses were thoughts in my head, but used the poetic style to structure them.
