Why Poetry — Random Poems I’ve Written

Poetry is what in a poem makes you laugh, cry, prickle, be silent, makes your toe nails twinkle, makes you want to do this or that or nothing, makes you know that you are alone in the unknown world, that your bliss and suffering is forever shared and forever all your own.

Dylan Thomas

Poetry is a way to release my feelings by putting them into words.  This page is essentially an index with links to poems I’ve written over the years that aren’t part of the annual poetry challenge I typically participate in. Enjoy — and of course, I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments.
