Comic Books Blogs Poetry Short Stories


The poet's corner of the Library is dedicated to both poetry by me and my favorite poetry by others. In general, I think my (writing) style is more suited for rants and spoken-word than poetry. But, for better or worse, I include my attempts at poetry here.

Poetry by others is posted without comment or explanation. I am no poetry expert and would not deign to assume that I know all that was going through the poet's life and mind when it was written. My own poetry, as lame as it is, includes a brief explanation or history that describes how and where each was written.
