the Grassroots Poetry Project Stirring Banner Poet and Artist Statement and Bio I love many things in this world...a butterfly in flight, silvers stars that shine in a midnight sky, art, poetry, and music, a rainbows flowers, cupid with his bow and arrow astronomy. In art I am inspired by the great masters, DaVinci and Michelangelo. In poetry I love W. B. Yeats, E.A. Poe and W.M. Shakespeare. In Astronomy, I love Galileo, and other astronomers and the history of astronomy. My art is inspired by many things. From the first time I ever saw art as a child, I fell in love with it. Now, as a grown woman I still adore art very much. I love when a great work of art is viewed with poetry and music. It is a beautiful effect to include the best of all three worlds. What would the world be like without music, art, and poetry. And the other creative things of the world, like theater and movies / I use black ink, and colored chalk and paint- I incorporate as many colors as I can. the texture is important too! My opinion is "The more color the better!" But on the other hand, I also adore black and white art ! I live in Dugger, Indiana. I have 8 years at ISU..."the college of Larry Bird." I have studied many great things at ISU. I learned allot from my professors, I have taken many classes (creaitve writing, poetry, astronomy, art, and History!) I am a Medical technologist I hold the ASCP(AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CLINICAL PATHOLOGISTS)( Board of Registry registrant) CHICAGO IL. AND NCA(NATIONAL CERTIFICATION AGENCY FOR MEDICAL LABORATORY PERSONNEL. INC. WASHINGTON D.C.) I have to mention two people that have been a creative inspiration to me. Special Thanks to Dr. S. Connelly (ISU) for he read one of my poems and some of my essays and short stories and said "Peggy, perhaps the reason you understand poetry so well is because You are a writer and poet yourself This statement has given me much inspiration. He has worked as an English Prof at ISU for over 30 years. I'd also like to thank my cousin Travis S. Meeks for the thrill of a life time. I was so proud of him when he was in Rolling Stone Magazine this past January. He is lead singer and writer for the rock band "Days of the New" and was on David Letterman in Nov. To see my family name of Meeks in Rolling Stone was an awesome experience. and on the next page Bob Dylan a legend in music !!!!!! I hope you enjoy my art and poetry as much as I enjoyed creating it. Nothing feels as good as creating, it makes you as high as a star in the sky! -Peggy Meeks-King ps if i ever stop writing you will have Larry R. Brooks to thank for it! LOL Visit Peggy's Homepage- http://www.ncci.net/kingp wish i had created the song ( my heart will go on)
