Free Verses

Welcome to Free Verses: 
Poetry for the People 🖊 ✊️ 

Thanks for reading my blog! This post is dedicated to you, Dear Reader:

You seem to have very good taste, to have found yourself here, reading poetry when there are so many other distractions online, clamoring for your attention.

Read my Resume of a Writer to find out why I started writing in the first place, and why I continue to do so, instead of focusing my time on more so-called "practical pursuits." I'm currently working on the follow-up to my out-of-print limited-edition collection of poetry, All Seasons: Poems '99 - '19


I've got poetry for All Seasons, but also every day of the week has its own color scheme, so why wouldn't it have it's own poetic grammar? (After all, every day rhymes with today: whereas tomorrow only rhymes with sorrow. Be glad it's today...) For example we have Wednesday's Wisdom challenging us to come up with a completely alliterative sentence: try it w/ "W" it's very easy, and fun once you get started. What other letter can you compose an entire sentence or poem using only words that start with that letter?


And to those Readers who feel like Alice might have stepped into Looking Glass House, don't worry, we will also be taking field trips to Wonderland periodically...unfortunately this author has gone and got Religious over the Holidays and deleted many of his old blogs, including the potentially blasphemous "God is a Mushroom" and now that we've got a new Pope I'm not sure I'm ever going to be granted that 'Nihil Obstat' from the Church (God Save His Holiness...)

I also deleted my cannabis strain reviews from "Rolling Stoned" and while I would like to bring that blog back as well, for now let me console you with the following poem I wrote to a weed strain: SuperBoof

You can also check out my YouTube channel where I read the work of some of my favorite poets of the past & present (& future?) as well as my own original verse...
