Profile Information

Relationship Status:: Married

About Me:: K. L. was born in South Jamaica, Queens, but currently resides in Brooklyn, New York. At 40 years of age I am a father of four, teacher for the New York City Department of Education for over ten years, and was recently married. My supportive wife is strength, best friend, and editor of most of my work. I obtained my A.S. in Business from Kingsborough Community College, B.S. in Education from York College, and holds a Master’s Degree from Walden University. I anticipate beginning my Ph.D. studies in 2008.
A writer of poetry and fictional stories I am currently working on my first book titled “A Man in Transition”. Over the years I changed my writing focus from erotic based content to romance and spiritual inspirations due to religious choices, so I hope to offer the world-focused insight of a man who has completely changed his life. I believe my writing expresses my growth as a man who, now, attempts to offer counsel, entertainment and guidance to all I meet.
I have performed spoken word at New York’s “Bowery Poetry Club” as part of the Urban Erotika showcase, and was featured in the September issue of the online magazine Belle-Noir.com. .
Traveling around the world, spending quality time with my children, coaching basketball, bowling, and cooking are a few of my other passions. I love to meet new people and use my internet blogs to write stories on his observations of the world.
My book "A Man in Transition" is a poetry book that allows you to see how a man thinks when he has turned his life around to a higher source from that of the common misogynist.

My Accomplishments:: Giving my Life to the Lord, Marrying my lovley wife, my children, earning 3 Degrees and teaching in NYC for over 10 years. Of course the completion of my first book a dream that I would have thought was possible.

Why I'm Here:: Professional, To Network, To Make Friends, To Share Ideas, To Learn, To Change the World

My Passion:: Teaching, Learning. Writing and Socializing. Surfing the web is in a class all its own it allows me to do all those things and more.

My Hopes:: My Hopes are to create novels that touch and help people as they read them. Also to become an even better teacher than I am. I want to help as many children as I can before I close my eyes.. I have come in contact with over 10K in my ten years..

My Dreams:: I have so many that it would be hard to list. I have a list of 30 that I have left in the Lord's hands to make happen for me.

What Else?:: A Man in Transition is a special project. This book of poetry has deep meaning to me. I was never a child that considered that God would even think of giving me talent enough to write anything. English was my worst subject in school plus I learned to get around the fact I didn’t like to read. Well as you grow and mature you start to have many experiences in your life. The Lord’s voice grows stronger and if you go in a different direction you’re still going to experience something.
This is my chance to share with the world glimpses of what my life has been. This book has six sections that all touch on the man I am and was. In each area I wrote from my heart I wanted you to share my Love, Pain, Joy and Sorrows. I know that many people write for various reasons; my motivation is my children and the children I teach. I want to show my children there is nothing that can’t be done if you have true faith in God. To my students I want to show them no matter what their weakness there is nothing they can’t accomplish. I once had a teacher, Mr. Goldberg tell me in the seventh grade “Keith, you are the worst thing your mother ever had!” and he was my English teacher. Go figure now here I am a teacher and writing this book. This is the start of my literary journey and I am not going to stop here. Please enjoy yourself and like anything else give this a second read and see if you can see or feel my emotions in each poem, story or rant.
I am a child of God and I have turned my life over to the Lord and with each project I undertake, I want the readers to know the role the Lord plays in my life. Money is not my motivation it’s the idea of having a people reading my words. So if you’re reading this thank you for making my dreams come true.
Sit back and take your time, I truly believe you will find something inside these pages that will touch your soul. A Man in Transition is a labor of love and example of what can happen when you trust those around you who say, you can do it.

God Bless.

K. L.

I just love this scene from this Movie. One of my Favorites.

There is something about Love, that when you see a scene that captures the Fear of losing it, makes you take notice of your own feelings towards Love. This might not be the best movie ever made, but I just Love this scene and the movie.

OK OK I am a basketball coach so there is something to that part also.

This isn't always the happiest time of the year for some of our children. I'll speak up for them.. Fathers Listen closely..

I have spent many a day in school listening to the pain our children have at the hands of Fathers who don't seem to understand the power of their absence. No greater time than the holidays when those actions hit home. This is a piece that speaks to the Promises not kept.. It might sting a little and fathers if your one that is mention in the poem today is never a bad day to start to reconnect with your children.

5 stars!

What a Man….What a Mighty Good Man

A Man in Transition by K.L. is a book of poems, stories and observations that will engage you from page one.
