When I write poetry, I hear music. This is why most of my poetry is lyrical in nature with repeating verses for emphasis and haunting rhythms designed to inspire you to think, feel, and reflect. At least that is my hope and my goal.
Every word I write is intentional which is why I use a more vertical approach to get people to absorb my poetry word by word, and to pause and reflect.
Reflection: This was a popular poem that I wrote back in June of 1999. Anyone who has experienced heart wrenching circumstances in life involving others, and all the ups and downs that such experiences can bring, will probably be able to relate to this poem.

Reflection: I wrote this poem back in December 1998 in reflection of children I knew and the potential dismal future they might have – not by their choice but as a consequence of the state of the world affairs at the time. This two-part poem seems even more relevant today.

Reflection: This was an inspirational/hope-themed poem that I wrote back in October 1998 as a poem of hope, perspective, and inspiration to people. Sometimes, that is just what a person needs. So, I suppose even as an early poet I was a bit of a life coach – even before I started down that path.

Reflection: I wrote this poem back in December 1997 in reflection of some of the relentless pursuits of adventure and experience I observed at the time – sailing the lows, and highs, and lows. Some of which ended up having devastating consequences.

Reflection: This was a popular poem that I wrote back in September of 1997 in reflection of being uncomfortably “drawn” to someone during an early, uncertain stage of romance. It felt both exhilarating and devastating surfing the highs, and lows, and highs for moments at a time. Part of me wanted to run away while the other part wanted to eagerly pursue.
