Please feel free to peruse the following collection of my poetry. I began writing poetry sometime around 1984, after my first committed relationship came to an end. None of it
was really any good at first, but it did prove to be an excellent means of therapy to mend the pains of a broken heart. Most notable
from this early era is SNAILS. 1984 marked the beginning of an on-going tradition, when I began making my own Christmas
cards with my photography and writing a poem as a Christmas message. They are collected by many people who have managed to stay on my Christmas list!
In 1990, I got divorced, and began writing poetry some more. Seems like I need some trauma in his life to make him write.
Anyways, enjoy what you read while you have a look at the my various thoughts and emotions. These are all contained in
4 volumes of my self-published book, Insights to a Mind, Vols. 1-4, a handmade artwork containing my photography and poetry. In 1998 after a 2nd divroce, I began to combine my photography and poetry into artworks. A few of the poems are 'blends' as are all of the Haiku Art. Hope you like.
Just remember, you might have to think!
