Who the heck is CJ Heck?
With a bored sigh, you probably think, "Oh, she writes children's poetry ... just like hundreds of other children's poets."

| My Inner Child |
I've been told that my poetry IS different. I don't write what I think children should read, or what I think they want to read.
I write poetry from a child's point of view, (probably because my own inner child is doing the writing), and it addresses many different issues that children have.
My inner child remembers what children think and wonder about in the world around them. What were we frightened of? What did we think was funny, sad, puzzling, or scary, and what made us most angry?
I love writing all kinds of poetry, but my favorite is, and always will be, poetry for children.
There is nothing as powerful as the truth and gentle honesty of a child. They have such an innocent view of their world and surroundings, sometimes with thought-provoking insight. That is what I love writing about, and from their point of view.
Please visit Barking Spiders Poetry.
Pull up a chair, get comfy, put a child on your lap, and have a look.
I think you'll be surprised. I'm really not like the other children's poets 'out there' ... and, who knows, just maybe you'll get reacquainted with your own inner child again.
