Reflection: Here’s a poem I wrote back in September of 1996. Much of the early-to-mid 1990s for me were characterized by a series of awkward romances that tended to go from warm, to hot, to cool fairly quickly. Sometimes it was me, sometimes it was the other party, and other times it was both. Developing a sense of trust and commitment was challenging for me throughout that period of my life.

Reflection: Here’s a poem I wrote back in September of 1996. I used to go to TGI Fridays later in the week in the evening before going out to other places, and one of the bartenders there was named Lisa. She was very attractive and very sweet. She told me about a guy who really liked her and that she started liking back as well – although, she said it took some time to get to that point. I wrote this poem in the attempt to capture what it must have been like for the guy leading up to where they had finally gotten; something I could strongly relate to – having had similar, haunting kinds of experiences.

Reflection: I wrote this popular reflective-themed poem in June of 1996 looking back on when I was in high school working at a gas station and some of the repeat flirtations that came my way from those a bit older than me. It was a fun time in my life and probably the best job I ever had.

Reflection: I wrote this poem back in March of 1996 as a brief commentary regarding “progress” being made on multiple fronts but not yielding a change in overall results. Sometimes, the simplest of poems say so much.

Reflection: Here’s a popular romantic-themed poem I wrote back in December of 1995 in reflection of my teenage and early adulthood years. It seems I was the better “wingman” than most of the friends I had during that phase of my life.

Reflection: Here’s a poem I wrote back in December of 1995 as a sort of a tribute and retrospective celebration of the wonderful people in my past who deeply inspired me and helped me to get to where I had gotten to in life. I was greatly appreciative, and this was one of the ways I wanted to show it.

Reflection: Here’s an interesting poem I wrote back in October of 1995 – a period of much adventure, exploration, and new experiences for me. It was such a fun and exciting period of my life. This poem was primarily inspired by certain persons I was strongly attracted to back then who I saw regularly in a favorite nightclub. I’m not sure now whether it was that the place was so much more fun than the places I’ve been to these days or whether the person I’ve become these days is less fun. Perhaps a little of both.

Reflection: Here’s a poem I wrote back in September of 1995 which also looked back on when I was in high school working at a gas station and some of the experiences I had and some of the observed experiences of others. It was a fun time in my life and probably the best job I ever had. I always look back fondly on those days.
