About Jimmy

Jimmy Melin

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.

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, even in the heat of summer. 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 still use)!
