As you know, this week I am going through old notebooks to find poems that I’ve written over the years. Perhaps I will compile a self-published poetry book. In the past I did self-publish with Amazon, but I removed my self-published books from Amazon for a variety of reasons. If you have any suggestions for self-publishing avenues please leave me a comment. Thanks.
Here are a few of my poems.
From 2019, “Vows.”
“Vows”
Endured. Distant, dark hills aflame with summer’s wrath.
More sickness than health; health turned into sickness.
Cherish morphed into tolerate.
How could we have just walked away with those broken promises and resentments real and imagined that we bore like a bagful of rocks on our backs that finally toppled us to our descent into our nothingness?
From 2020, “Memory Stalker.”
“Memory Stalker”
Your memory has followed me
down all the roads
I have taken to escape.
From 2020, “Passage.”
“Passage”
Letting go.
Of him.
Darkened day, clouded over by time’s cruel passing; my powerlessness at its slipping away.
Thanks for reading. Please leave a comment.

Thank you so much for your encouraging comments. It is interesting to look back over the years and to see how I’ve developed as a writer. I’m also looking over old short stories. I simply love writing and reading other writer’s work. Thanks again. Have a wonderful weekend.
