For me, writing poems is a lot like I imagine a chicken feels when trying to lay an egg; it is an event that takes place with a lot of squawking and fussing. Sometimes it happens quickly and easily, other times it is painful and time-consuming. But in the end, the images and ideas running through my head must come out in one form or another.
Although I have written many poems over the years, there are very few I find worthy of public scrutiny. Some of my poems are too private to be shared in this kind of forum; others are simply too nebulous to be posted yet. Following are some samples of my poetry. You can also take a look at some of my favorite poems by other people if you
are curious about who may have influenced my writing style, consciously or not.
