I have been writing poems since I was a child. (Even had one published in the kids' section of the local newspaper when I was 8 or so.)
These days, they are practice for me. I like to experiment with the elemental, and with the core challenge that all humans face, that of overcoming ourselves.
As a writer, I enjoy expressing lyrically, within a foundation of rhyme and meter and tempo and word play.
My goal is to have a healthy library of these experiments. (I am motivated by the wisdom that William Shakespeare had 154 published sonnets.)
In my effort to become a better writer, I want to practice conveying sensations and situations within a pleasant economy and structure of words.
It is my hope that I am able to strike a chord with you on occasion.
