A receptacle for my attempts at translating other poets’ work.

Yet another collection of poetry, added to as the mood or fancy strikes me. I hope you enjoy at least some of it.

A collection of verse by other people to show we've always dared to speak our love's name.

A collection of my poetry that comes from evaluating myself. These are some thoughts and reflections that go through my mind as I live my life. The poems in this collection come from the train of thought of wanting to better myself, and how to move forward as a better man. From thoughts of my family, to lessons taught, these are my reflections.

No one ever said love couldn’t fall between the cracks. Two people meet by random chance online, and then in person. These fifty poems document the arc of a love affair from first contact to the budding of deep, mutual intimacy. However, one of them is not able to handle the feelings the other raises in him.

Welcome! To a place where it walks like a poetry and other writings, quack like one but does not sit like poetry.

There is no aim for this writing.

The heavens are vast and full of unknown.

Contain things that are not poetry.

As I push my boundaries, I learn more about this type of writing. My comfort level increases and hopefully my skill improves. Unlike writing larger stories where the canvas I paint on is vast, there is a beauty in writing poetry and telling a story or drawing an images in a few words.

These are just shared words of rhythm and rhymes; submitted on GA as a collection; chapters with independent themes, often as comments to other authors’ stories.

Please read any referenced stories for proper context and understanding; hopefully you’ll find the source stories as interesting and enjoyable as I do.
