A small offering to the Poetry Anthology for 2026

When the words become destructive...

We make myriad choices every day, in cooking, editing, life and much more. Here are three poems to choose from, or you can embrace all three.

My free-verse entry for the 2026 poetry anthology. Lately it seems that what seems like being a choice, really isn’t. Are we really free to decide any aspects of our own lives?

The past has a way of catching up with you and it can turn your life upside down. When you haven't faced things completely, but hover in between, it is easy to fall into a complex of lies and half truths.

You may think you know what you want, but life has a habit of throwing a curve ball. Will Alex and Matty come through unscathed or will events prove to be overwhelming?

Whatever the outcome there will always be a sense of doubt.

A collection of standalone one-shots. Will be updated periodically but probably never be "complete" per say.

Rated Teen for now. The stories will largely fit in "Coming Of Age" or "Slice Of Life" type themes.

Matt Everest and Kitt Wellington have been inseparable since middle school—best friends growing up across the street, sharing summers at the lake and quiet dreams about the future. Matt is the golden quarterback with a clear path ahead; Kitt is thoughtful, driven, and quietly carrying feelings he doesn’t dare name.

As they grow older, friendship deepens into something neither of them fully understands—or feels safe enough to confess. Family expectations, small-town pressure, and the fear of losing each other keep them silent, even as the bond between them becomes impossible to ignore.

Hi, I’m Skylar. I’m sixteen, gay, and trapped in a high school satire where every internet trope you’ve ever read shows up with glitter and trauma. I’ve got a closeted jock crush, a cheerleader nemesis who smells like body spray and hate, and a best friend who hands out condoms like Tic Tacs. This story has locker room angst, hallway drama, and possibly a car accident that isn’t that serious but still ruins everything. It’s messy, dramatic, and honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

This is a collaboration with Aero1107.

John asked if he could use my main characters from "A Ticklish Thriller" in his story, "My Ticklish Grandsons," and create a backstory for Mikey and his family. I was extremely flattered and eagerly accepted and was even more surprised when he asked if I'd work with him on developing his story. Then that started an idea for a stand alone sequel to Thriller using his characters The Giovanni Clan which became "The Ticklish Brotherhood."
