Phoebe K. Ridgewood
	Though I was born in the Southwest, I have yet to put down roots. I love to travel and have done so extensively. My travels have granted me an eclectic perspective on many subjects. These perspectives often find homes in my poetry. Many of my poems originate from random phrases that pop into my head, most of which end up in my journal but some make it to the site in full blown poetic form. I tend to write from a metaphorical point of view, and thus many of my poems contain multi-layered complex trains of thought.
