About J.D. Morgan
I go by the pseudonym J.D. Morgan. When I was in the tenth grade, one of my English literature teachers gave me the nickname "shell boy". Despite being quiet, humble, and introverted, I did not take offence to this moniker. I saw it as a term of endearment and appreciated how his teacher helped him participate in class discussions and come out of my shell.
Apart from being a poet, I also work as an information technology and accounting professional, providing support. I am an avid reader of poetry who loves everything about the natural world, from the sun and the moon to everything in between. My best writing is inspired by observing the celestial bodies in the sky, and I often spend my time daydreaming and gazing into the distance, searching for words to express my innermost thoughts.
