Since I was a teen
Now I make it formal
As on this site is seen
But in another way
This is not about me
But rather what I see
It may come from the inside
Or somewhere on the outside
But I place it on these pages
To add what I here express
To the collective human consciousness
About Elm
Elm Sturkol grew up near the south shore of Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, mainly a wilderness area, where he enjoyed hunting and camping. He worked his way through college at Michigan Tech University where he graduated with a degree in Applied Physics. Jobs he worked on the way included: saw mill laborer, lumberjack, factory forklift driver, oil exploration crew, and tree planter. Later he was employed as a Physicist doing R&D before moving into his main career in sales of scientific instruments. He started writing poetry in his early twenties, and later started playing the guitar. This led him into song writing, and he now has four CDs available at CDBaby.com. His songs are presently played on various streaming services around the world.
