Melanie Ridilla enjoys writing imagery rich poetry inspired by her life and current events.
Melanie Ridilla
Melanie Ridilla is an aspiring writer. She writes at her family's farm, in the scenery of the barn that is home to her two horses, Rosie and Gator. Underneath her desk, you will find her four legged baby, Bianca's Ruby Slippers (who helps her "mama" with creative inspiration), sleeping on Melanie's feet. Bianca's adventures tire her out!
