Free-Verse - Stories

Reflections of the past, realities of the present, and hopes for the future. These aren't prompts, and anything could wind up here, from poetry to monologues. It's all about words, and the forms they lead us to.

A poem in memory of a dear friend.

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

Poems I have written!

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!
