Free-Verse - Stories

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

Poetry. Hopefully some good!

Translations of early German Expressionist poet Toni Schwabe. Along with Elsa Gidlow and Renée Vivien, her delicate-but-frank explorations of same-sex love established much of the territory fellow Lesbian poets celebrated vociferously in the latter part of the 20th century. As far as I know, this is the first substantial collection of the poet's work to be rendered in English.

All artwork posted with the poems are by noted Gay/Bi American artist Georgia O’Keeffe

I work with words everyday and sometimes work takes a sit on the second (or third) row to let me play with words.

Here I will be sharing some of the results of my playing with words, some short and not so short poems I sort of compose in English.

I wish you enjoy them!

A place for my poems.

These are all works I edited with my Poetry Studio class. It was great having so many beta readers, and I think the works are better for it. Submitted to the GA 2024 Poetry Anthology!

Just some fleeting thoughts.

It's not just the weather that changes with the seasons.

A collaboration between Valkyrie and Aditus.

A poetic exploration of this glorious thing called life.

My attempt to sort through thoughts, feelings, and erratic ideas using poetic forms.
