Poetry

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

A second book of poetry, posted in no particular order or schedule. Maybe it's better than the first. Or not.

A collection of poems by Wayne Gray

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.

This will be a collection for most of my poetry. Hope you'll find it appealing. Some of it will be Mature, so pay attention to the chapter notes.

Poetry about the creatures outside my window, who give me great pleasure season after season.

I occasionally try my hand at writing haiku. I'm not claiming that any of it is really all that good. And some haiku purists might even claim that I don't always follow the rules of haiku correctly. Indeed some of my attempts could be more correctly classified as senryu, rather than haiku.

Be all that as it may, I shall add my individual attempts over the next while. Some have been written many years ago. Others will be more recent.

As the occasional offering may be somewhat dark in nature, I shall give the collection a rating of Mature. I will give individual chapter warnings where necessary

This is a collection of my poetry. Subjects are frequently turbulent and volatile in nature, but will also include more reflective pieces on nature, the universe, and life in general.

It’s that time of the year: National Poetry Writing Month is on!

For those who don’t know the rules, the task is to write a new poem for each day of the month of April.

Poems Written for National Poetry Writing Month, 2021. I hope you find them enjoyable.
