POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
writing poetry doesn't make me a poet, who hasn't written poetry at some time or other...

don't go there anymore
lost the hunger
to write
on that somewhat
greasy shore ..

say nothing ..
the trouble is, I've always seen
life as a little bit seedy and somewhat

to take advantage of her,
suggesting marriage
she says is that
just another of your
empty premises ..
