Welcome to my poetry website!

Poetry is a medium of artistic expression I've enjoyed since high school, especially poems written in meter and rhyme. Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem, Dawn, piqued my interest at that time. Despite having only one stanza, the poem's elegant imagery captures the splendor of the morning's waking sun.

While I've occasionally written in free verse, I favor using classical meter and rhyme. My favorite forms to use include the sonnet, quatrain, rubaiyat, and couplet. I prefer to keep phrases simple when writing. However, I enjoy reading poetry that includes the skillful use of elegant words.

On the following pages, the poems are divided into three thematic parts and a fourth section comprised of miscellaneous topics.

Enjoy your visit.
