• Name: Keeba Smith • Gender: Female • Birthday: 1966-Nov-18 (Age: 45) • IM Screen Name: PiquedGirl23 (Yahoo!) • Location: Denver, CO, United States About Me K Smith was born in Colorado in 1966 as the last of seven children. Her early interests included working with her brother’s chemistry lab and political science, which stemmed from her dad. At a young age, she won a prize for writing an essay about child safety and realized her joy for writing. Keeba began writing poems in Junior High School along with her first novelette. At which time, she titled her compositions, “Kool Kalm Kompositions.” As a youngster, she would write plays and essays for her church. In addition, was asked to write compositions for family, friend as well as associates. During and after High School, she worked continually in the administrative field while taking several college courses in business. She continued in the workforce and enrolled in several classes receiving certificates in business management where she remained gainfully employed as a manger for respective businesses. While working, she never withdrew from her love of writing and later surrounded herself with writers’ elite and enrolled in writing classes, which included English, comprehension and grammar. Later, she would marry a longtime family friend and succeed in married life while studying commercial insurance and political science. Her writing and other interests continued until May 1996; she became ill while working late one evening when she experienced severe head pains that were unlike any stressful headache or migraine. Immediately, she contacted her husband and together they spent hours in the emergency room when informed that she had a growth on her brain. After multiple doctor visits, she was informed of the possibility of a growth on her brain. Although anxious and confused, she woke one morning and informed her husband she had total peace and was ready to face what may be the end of her life. Later that day, she stopped working on her most recent novel, “Yellow Rose” and immediately began writing her autobiography, “A Spirit in the Dark.” With only a minor setback, she continued her love for writing and later moved to a quiet community further northeast of Denver. Today, Keeba faces some intricacies, but her dreams are not dismantled. Currently, she is presently working on her compositions of poems, novels, novelettes and screenplays, while undertaking the task of writing a friend’s biography as well as writing essays for others who enjoy her method of scrawl. When not writing, she enjoys photography and building web sites as well as being involved in several on-line writing groups and remains infatuated with the entire process of writing and is just as content to have her poems published in Poets Elite. Most recently, during open-mic, Keeba soliloquized, “Nothing Is What It Seems” and was subsequently labeled an “unsettled writer.” Later, she was asked who she was in description, hence, she recited, “This is Keeba” (From Keeba’s collection of poems Keeba Kornered Kaptured in Kaptivity). With a selective audience, she has shared, “Shades of Bright Pale,” “The Worker,” “Big Girl,” “Across the Lines” and several others. KEEBA WRITES: I do not waste time with non-voters who are just menials-people who stand without meaning and contend to waste time with much success As a child, I never knew the sacrifices my parents faced while they intimated and provided for their children Though they hinted they were lacking this andor that, I can honestly say that we were never hungry, cold, or homeless but just the opposite My parents were just that, real parents who took the time to teach right from wrong They taught us to love and appreciate those in our lives and to be strong individuals As the youngest of seven, I reminisce on the times all of us shared while growing up Before the passing of both of my parents, I am so glad I got the chance to express to them how I felt and my deepest gratitude of their love, value and foundation of respect and responsibility It is and it is not because of them who I am as well as it is and is not because of them who I am not-God has given them to me-not me them I have strength.
