I've been writing poetry since I was 12, that is 40 years now. I write poems of all feelings, and moods. Some of them are life experiences, others mere observations. The mood strikes me at various times , and there are times that I don't produce any .... maybe for years. Since I don't make a living from it , well that's OK . I try to write for the masses. Which is to say the average man and woman. After all I'm middle class myself, working on poor heh heh. I write in hopes that one poem touches one person. What I mean to say is that if each poem relates to only one person, but they can say boy he really nailed how I feel, I'm a happy man. Click on the choices to the left and you will find poems of love..... being in and out of love as well as being swept up in it. I also have poems that paint pictures, poems with messages, poems of humor, poems for children, and poems of seasons. They are all written by myself, and I will add as I write new ones. I do not believe in rhetoric, and using a lot of 13 cylinder words to impress myself, or others. There is usually an underlying meaning , or an ambiguous nature to most of my poems. However it is not that deep or profound , that the average Joe can't appreciate it. If there are any questions about any of my poems contact me via e-mail , I'll be glad to answer them. I hope you enjoy one or more of these poems and can relate to them. I hope if you like poetry at least one of these can put a smile on your face. An artist uses paint and brush to express him or herself , me I just use words. If you don't mind sign my Guest Book please. I would love to see where my visitors are coming from. |
