Introduction

The poetry is listed here in mostly chronological order. I will sometimes make commentary next to the title if I think it requires it. You might note that earlier in the timeline (some years past) I had been more productive. Lately I’ve just written some pieces, but rarely do I get inspired like I used to. I attribute this to having not read poetry in a while, although slowly my poetry collection is becoming more diverse and I find that I am reading more of it. I used to read a lot of Charles Bukowski and so you might, in the early poems, sense a bit of his style in mine. But then that is strictly subjective. If only I could write poetry (or short stories, for that matter) as well as he, I’d be a happy man.

Email Poetica	A medley of poetry created by cutting words from email messages sent by a friend and then pasted in a document in seemingly random order thus creating an electronic form of cut-and-paste poetry. My friend and I called it email poetica.

A Poem Is
Useless
No One at All on Sunday	Sometimes my mind gets into a fog (hell, most of the time) and I cannot do or think of much of anything and so I tend to get into a free style sort of rambling and hence the nature of the body of this particular poem.
