Howdy!

I’m a degreed and published American poet and retired poetry teacher who composes in most formats, with an occasional short story thrown-in.

Out of love and passion for the art, I write to entertain, please others, and enjoy myself, hoping you will find something of favor in my easy to understand pieces.

Please, feel comfortable offering any well-meant criticism you believe will help better my skills. I’ve found that (for me, anyway) “being able to” accept honest, experienced input can be an effective way to quickly learn and improve. ✍
