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.

SELF POEM

The Door to Myself (Linked Haikus)

The door to myself,
Intricately gilded steel,
Rusted shut by tears.

Beyond it dead dreams,
Endless verdant sylvan paths,
Better lives unlived.

What use my regret?
Precious treasure left there,
Cannot be retrieved.

DARK POEM

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...
