Some of it's brilliant, some of it's junk but here's a collection of my poetry. Much of it goes back to my Jr. High days and I have to say it's more emotional record-keeping than literary achievement. Still I love them each and every one. They're listed alphabetically by title with the first line just for reference. Enjoy.
