Thank you for visiting! 

I am currently editing my poems for publication in approximately a year, so I appreciate your interest and commentary greatly . . .

Sadly, many of us write when we are searching for something, and when we are happy, we never feel the need to write. And so it is with my poetry. What you have here is a collection of moments from my life--moments too important to forget, but too passionate to remember.

When I look back at some of these, I can scarcely recall the feelings, but I felt them at the time, and it's part of what I carry.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please post them to the discussion forum.

If you would like to present your own poetry, please visit the Forum , or send a note with your name to submit@poetsforum.com  

I revise, update and add new poems frequently, so please check back! I hope you will read them with me, and know that each one was written from the heart, and each one came from something, or someone, special.
