About The Author

I try...

People say I’m talented
when they read my poems
they say these words hit like bricks
they are relatable

Hello, new friend! Nice to meet you!


My name is Kim, and I write creative free verse and blunt poetry; nothing is sugar-coated and is straight to the point.






I am a Christian! That is something I want you to know about me. I am just chronicling my journey through life; the ups and the downs; you’ll find them here. 





Just a brief history, I started writing at a noticeably young age, as far back as I can remember, and that discovery opened the door to a love of writing. I’ve been using that talent to encourage others. It’s great to see others blossoming.










Thank you for your comments, encouragement, and suggestions. I apologize if I rarely respond. I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to visit.

      It’s an urgent need–and I confess I still struggle with it as a devout 62-year old Christian.  God is faithful, so far so good.  Yes I’ll check back when I’ve had some sleep (it’s now 7:15 am, and I’ve yet to go to bed!)

    I’m envious of you, to have learned the art of writing so long ago.  As I struggle through my childhood, getting trapped by addiction.  I have started my two blogs from a hidden dare.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. Loved your poems, especially the first i encountered in your poetry roll ~ Bloated Behinds. It’s really true and in fact one of the males celebrities from my country also had his behinds bloated 🙂 Your poem made me smile 🙂

    Thanks for following Kim.  I’ll join your followers too I think!  My poems are, I’m afraid, interspersed with recipes, reviews, and other bits of nonsense, which I hope none the less will brighten someone’s day! Peter

I absolutely love your poems; something about the way you write it really special, I could literally read every single poem and like everyone, which I was just doing now 😛
    
I remembered one of your poems I saw on the reader ages ago and I really liked it, god knows why I didn’t follow you then, I thought I had done haha 😛
    
Can’t wait to read more!
    
Aaran 🙂

      Thank you so much for your kindness and for your concern. He lives in another country apart from me but he’s doing ok. My family and I are working together to make sure he gets all the help, love and support he needs to replenish himself.

    Hello to a fellow poet and thank you for your visit to Between the Lines. Poetry is such an expansive art form, isn’t it?  And we poets are always learning and growing. That’s what keeps us vital and our imaginations open. A pleasure to meet you! Looking forward to our sharing in the future.

    Hi Kim. My name is Eric. You visited my blog probably – I know I don’t look for new contacts to follow – I am a bit overwhelmed actually with over 300. I do not seem to have in records any contact – so, perhaps wordpress deleted the like of follow or what was the reason. Anyway, I wish you well and I hope that your book will be a happiness for you.
    
~ Eric

    ❤ do you ever try to publish your work in literary journals? i have been told, it is the most effective way, to get notoriety as a new author. submitting, a few poems at a time, while you work on your manuscript. then use to your credits in your manuscript submission. or self publish, use in your bio there.
    
good luck

    This appears to be a very full and rich blog–good poetry, and a call for suicide awareness.  Very worthy, and personal to me.  Thank you for visiting me, leading me to you.

    I love your blog, it’s so positive! And God is so so good. I write poetry myself, please check it out! I’d love some feedback. You seem pretty solid person from just reading your about me and your writings. Have a great day!! 🙂
