My Poetry

Writing poetry is extremely rewarding for me.  It allows me to express my thoughts and feelings about all sorts of topics – nature, relationships, contemporary issues, and even abstract ideas.  Yet, it’s also challenging.  Even for someone who loves to write, it takes a great deal of time to write one poem.  You have to take rhythm, shape, vocabulary, and other techniques into account – and all the while, capture the reader’s imagination and emotions.   Think of it as rubbing your belly and patting your head at the same time, in a literary sense.

Even with all of my writing projects, I am submitting my poetry to literary publications (both online and print) and competitions.  Any news about my poetry will be shared on this site as soon as it’s confirmed.  In the meantime, cross your fingers!
