Author Description

NOTES: Dr. John WorldPeace JD I was born a white male in 1948, in Houston, Texas. Since September 2011, have lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico In October 1970, I wrote my first poem. Since then, I have written about 6,000 poems. Mostly in free verse, unmetered and un- rhyming and in my personal genre: Free verse Haiku. Most of my poems could be looked at as a supplement to my prose auto-biography; poetic snap-shots of what I was thinking or experiencing at a particular moment in time during my life in this earth dreamscape. In the beginning, I recorded the year of poems, then the year/month/day, then year/month/day/time. I have also published selections of my poems. In June 2018, I began to self-publish all the poems I have ever written to date in chronological order using Amazon's self-publishing software. There are over 70 poem books as of September 2021. I have been adding about 1500 poems a year since 2019, with new poems being published each month. My genetics and my current state of health make me confident, barring some accident, that I will live more than a few years past 100. I will continue to write poems and in fact, will probably increase the annual volume of poems I write over the rest of my life. I do not force my poems. I don't channel these poems unless I feel inspired. I have no desire to set a world record for the number of poems written in a lifetime. All my poems have a spiritual connect and I say that I channel them from the spiritual dimension as opposed to writing them. The poems are written in a couple of minutes, 2-10, then put away in a binder in chronological order. I have lost less than a dozen poems since 1970 when I began channeling them. Usually within a very few minutes after channeling a poem, I have no real memory of what I wrote. The edits I make after channeling a poem are minimal. Images of the original cursive of many poems are online: https: //DrJohnWorldPeaceJDPoetry.com. All but maybe 50 of my poems have been
