How it all began.......
From as far back as I can remember, I have always had an interest in writing. More specifically, writing for children. In fact, I remember at one point I wanted to be a writer of children's stories when I grew up. But, with time, like so many other children, that dream morphed.....lol.
The best part though, is that the love did not fade and by the time I got to high school, I ventured into poetry. Even though I was now writing poems, it still felt like I was telling a story, but, in a different way.
I would write for my family, friends and events and after all these years, should have a vast compilation, but, I honestly do not have the slightest clue where most of them are. It was my mother who finally suggested that I make a collection. I don't know why, but I still procrastinated.
My name is Tavia "Tee/TeeTee" Gooden, I live on the beautiful island of Jamaica, and now at the age of 26, I have taken my mother's advice and pursuing one of my loves. It is because of this love that "Rhymes with Tee" was created. Through this website, I wish to attract any interested reader, although my main focus is on children. However, whether you're a parent, or a teacher, whether you're old or young, my work is aimed at motivating, inspiring and sparking imagination.
Poetry for me is how I get to express the way I am feeling or what I'm thinking, and writing poems for children is just a part of it. There is a quote I heard in the movie entitled The Imitation Game, and it says "Sometimes the very person you imagine nothing of, is the one who does the thing you can't imagine."
Thank you for viewing "Rhymes with Tee". I hope that you enjoyed reading as I aim to encourage imagination. |
