MEET SOME OF THE POETS, THEIR POEMS & THEIR STORIES:

McLeod was born with a compelling melodic intrinsic distinctive which enabled him to sing as far back as he can remember. This led to his ability to craft words into lyrics for song which ultimately turned into the creation of Personal Poetry for Self, Family, Friends and Coworkers beginning in the 80s, depicting events of great significance in their lives. Meeting Mr. Frank Clay Jr., a neighbor in the community McLeod settled in after moving to GA, was the catalyst to connecting with the Villa Rica Poetry Break at The Pines. There he has composed and shared multiple styles of poetry that include the standard Rhyming Prose, the Limerick and the 575 Haiku which is a type of short form poetry that originated in Japan, consisting of three phrases composed in a 5 syllable, 7 syllable, 5 syllable pattern. in phenomenal measure that allows him to create and compose Poetry and develop and arrange Lyrics for music that touches the listener and in doing so. . .All Are Blessed. God’s favor rests upon McLeod
