About The Author
Thomas (T. C.) Hood, poet (born 1938 in Van Buran County Michigan )
While I have devoted my awake time to many other pursuits, I began to write poetry when I was in elementary school. My classroom was a one room country school in the same neighborhood where my father Max Kay Hood had grown up. In my classroom one teacher “taught” about 30 children from kindergarten through 8th grade. If I had accomplished my assigned work, I was free to sit at my desk and pursue whatever interested me. Before starting school I learned many nursery rhymes at home. Mary had a little lamb, Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, Eating a Christmas pie. He stuck in his thumb and …Oh where? Oh where? Has my little dog gone? Even some long verses like “The Night Before Christmas” and “This is the house that Jack built “were committed to memory and recited for guests who came by my home for a visit. So poetry became a way to occupy free time at school, and a way to entertain guests who visited our home.
