A little about me:

I used to write poetry. A lot. I also wrote short stories and song lyrics. Then I stopped for a few years. Actually, a couple of decades or so. No idea why, I just stopped. Sadly, I have lost the only copies I had of almost all of my old poems. Some were published, but attempting to locate publishers may prove to be difficult.

Lately, I’ve been inspired to pick up the pen – or keyboard – again. On this page I’m including a few of my older poems and introducing some of my new. I hope you enjoy!

I live in Tallahassee, FL with my wife, 3 dogs and 4 cats. My favorite beverage is a good cup of hot coffee, whatever time of year. If you want to discuss poetry, poets, music, or recovery (I’ve been free of alcohol and other substances since 10/15/2011), let’s connect over coffee (the only drug I use)!
