Poetry

 

I've written over 800 poems over the years.  Obviously, they have varying degrees of quality.  I've linked here some of my favourites.  All of the poems are in .pdf format, and all are copyrighted. For permission to use any of them, you can contact me through my poetry blog, to the right.  These are not in any particular order, and they have a tendency to be kinda dark, as is most of my writing.

I've posted more of them to my WordPress blog, here. Many years ago, I had posted a bunch (several hundred?) to my Live Journal poetry blog here, but, you know the Russians bought the site, and so I've been reposting them on the WordPress blog. I'm nearly at the point where the Live Journal posts leave off. I used the tag system more extensively on Live Journal, but Word Press search feature is pretty decent without it. I won't be updating Live Journal any more, but I'm up to more than 800 poems as I write this, so the WordPress blog will be more complete very shortly.

Published poetry can also be found linked at the Writing Portfolio page.  I write mostly for myself, so I make no claims to aspiring to general audience preferences.
