Pen name: Peter R. My first book entitled: Words of Love to My Family or Yours, has now been published and limited copies are available!!!! Click here!
I had individual poems published in: Poetry An American Heritage, Outstanding Poets of 1994, The Eagle Spirit, "Catharsis", Best Poems of 1996, Lyrical Heritage, Frost at Midnight, Amidst the Splendor, Searching for Answers, Whispers at Dusk, Poetic Voices of America, Journey Between the Stars, A Treasury of Famous Poems, Sparrowgrass: Ten Years of Excellence, Poets of the Palm Beaches 1997 & 1998 Anthologies, as well as in several local newspapers. Many of my poems have received "Editor's Choice", Finalist, Semi-Finalist, and "Honorable Mention" awards. In addition, I wrote my own poetic sales slogans as well as the political motto for a local town council candidate and friend.
I am married to a wonderful lady, who is also my best friend. Together we've raised two grown children. Poetry seems to be an escape for me, a relief, from the every day routine and grind. To date I have written close to three hundred poems and some short stories.
Writing in rhyme is my passion, and it serves as a specific
purpose, and a vehicle, allowing me, at least in my mind, to help make this world a better place for us to live in.
