POEMS AND SHORT STORIES

Poet Introduction

My most favorite poets are the British romantics. My own writing ranges widely in themes and form, including sonnets, haikus, free verse and blank verse some of which appears in two collections: Of Pain and Ecstasy and Echoes of Dawn at Dusk.

The Subway (free-verse poem)

I stand alone in the dark Fulton Street subway station,
Breathing in the urine-scented air,
Breathing out clouds of steam,
A subway train rushes along,
Not stopping,
Biting at my eardrums,
With the painful percussion,
Of thousands of people,
Silently screaming,

I don’t want to see,
    I don’t want to see,
         I don’t want to see,

The air fanned by each subway car,
Rushes against me,
Pushes the ozone and the smell of burnt brake linings,
Into my nostrils,
Along with the air,
Sucked through...

Why I Write Science Fiction

I am an author,
Mostly of non-fiction works,
They are where I live.

I also write poems,
About themes deeply rooted,
In my heart and soul.

Yet of all I write,
I'm arguably most free,
In my SF worlds.

Past, present, future,
Coexist in harmony,
Unchained from what is.

False utopias,
Unmasked as dystopias,
Clung to by blind fools.

Imagination,
Freed from mind-forged manacles,
Can discover truth.

Physics' laws repealed,
Coloring outside the box,
Of what's...
