' started writing poetry in the mid 60s .. whew, long time ago .. nearly half a century? Have i been around that long..? ;-) I don't even know what 67 is supposed to feel like .. i never act my age .. i refuse to grow up, at least not all the way. ' very few things i have *not* made a poem about. All generic, only places in the heart and mind .. that could have existed at any time .. all natural .. never force written .. like penmanship lessons, or writing on the blackboard .. My poetry is about love, nature, and sarcasm/cynicism about things that are just plain wrong with the world, but not the planet .. except when the world messes up the planet .. not the planet's fault. ;-) / / If I've provoked a thought or struck the hidden chord, I feel I've made a genuine connection. / / My poet author influences .. Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Frost, Carl Sandburg, E. E. Cummings, Edgar Allen Poe, and all the ladies and gentlemen coffee-house and slam poets i've met. / / ;-)
