About me
| Hi my name is Tommy Garrison, I am a poet who lives in the great NW of USA. I am big on using near rhymes and sometimes they can be quite loose rhymes but they flow and you will understand all of them. I notice this kind of rhyming is done frequently in music lyrics, of all genres. It is fun to use near rhymes with strict rhymes. Poetry is fluid like water my friend. I actually write poetry in a broad array of styles, forms and genres. Family: I am married to my high school sweetheart, together 20+ years. We have a fourteen year old son, a five year old lil boy, and our precious baby girl is three years old now! Work: Home business owner, doll house builder, doll house electrician, webmaster for our heirloom doll house business. Hopefully one day a successful poet/author. www.tommygpoetry.com Happening now: My co-writer and I have completed our first collaborative novel. I truly hope you consider buying a copy of this beautiful love story. A Miraculous Fate An emotional, touching, and uplifting cancer story. Please support independent, self published authors like me. If you have enjoyed my website, please purchase one or all of my books. The traditional publishing companies tend to squash the little person or self published authors. I think this is wrong, but I keep faith and also believe a shift will take place when self published authors will get more respect and more importantly get more equal opportunities for success. This day isn't now, but your purchase of my books truly helps by keeping another struggling, self published author positive and smiling for another day at least! If you are a literary agent,book publisher, reviewer, or media outlet and would like to help me, Please email me at: tommy@tommygpoetry.com |

I LOVE football, snow skiing, mustang cars, Seattle Seahawks, karate, mixed martial arts, boxing, chess, playing the saxophone and most wind instruments. I love listening to music and watching movies. My favorite poetry book is, "Where the sidewalk ends" by Shel Silverstein. Thank you Shel for your poetic influence on me and the world. I have only been writing for a few years. The words just kinda flow right out of my mind. I must give credit to Mrs. Cook my high school sophomore literature teacher, because inspiring a football playing punk couldn't have been easy! She was able to get me to write a poem, after I complained how stupid the class was for half the period. The poem ended up making page five in the school poem book that year. That was pretty much the last poem I wrote until Jan. '08. |
