I didn’t become a poet, I was born a poet
when I remembered I had a voice,

& that voice had been cooped up in a cage

but over time it grew wings
& creativity filled it with colour

Just like a bird

it was set free

free as a butterfly….

a butterfly would lead me around the woods and one day, as I sat down listening to nature a dragonfly decided to land on my shoulder. It had a purple hue and glistened as silver in the sunlight.

As you are all probably aware, nature is the most important natural source of energy in the universe. Whilst I reviewed this book of the wood element, I decided my surname, Wood was globally recognised because there are forests, woods and rainforest on all continents of the world.

The five Chinese elements are; wood, water, fire, metal and earth.

The four Japanese elements are; wind, fire earth and water.
