Sonnets are fourteen lines with iambic pentameter rhythm. Outside of that, anything goes. Some self-imposed limitations could prevail, but I choose to let the reader listen to the voice rather than...

These lengthy compositions of Daydreams intend to lead you through an emotional odyssey of love and passion in a panorama of fantasy mirroring reality. The Nightmare of abuse reflects what true... More > victims may feel but hesitate to relate.

Blinded by the Light is a composite of themes that vary from unadulterated love to adulterated humor. ABUSES probes the attitudes of the male psyche as it interacts with the feminine mystique, and... More > EXCUSES comments on the foibles of individual interaction with social expectations and reactions to language and love relationships. The Importance of Pictures looks at glimpses of life and love as if they were captured in a moment of time to be treasured as invaluable art. The Lovesong of Lorenzo parallels T S Eliot's Prufrock, but this treatment is a more positive and optimistic view of human behavior. The intimate questions are essentially what are asked secretly and answered coyly with no satisfaction to either party to the interrogation.< Less

This collection of verse transports the reader through seas of double meanings, suggestiveness, intimate views of personal behavior, satire, and elusive love. It parallels the seriousness of Poe with... More > parodies of form evoking the terror of The Raven, and with an air of levity, these portray the frustrations of a self-storage center manager in The Craven, and a language professor in The Maven, both of which follow the style and form of the insuperable E. A. Poe. A look at the innocence of alternate sexuality and the novelty of youthful personal interaction is portrayed in The Young and the Gay which itself expresses an attitude about social views of human emotion without taking a stand. It leaves the perception up to the reader to come to any conclusions. A Goose in the Shower is a playful presentation of the fads and foibles of human sexual behavior, and it objectively observes the patterns of courtship in many of the venues where it is least expected to be observed.< Less

This version of Shakespeare's most often produced, timeless tragedy, Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, intends to maintain the stream of the dramatic action as Shakespeare intended it to be, or not to... More > be, without sacrificing the meaning, the literary devices of rhythm and rhyme as well as blank verse, metaphor, and figurative language interwoven with the fabric of effective prose. It is a play that begs to be understood for its implications of social interaction, guilt, decisiveness, vengeance, love, devotion, passion and personal resolve. I try to accommodate that need to enhance the experience of reading such a great work by supplementing Shakespeare's efforts with my own to make the entire experience stimulating, educational, and enoyable.< Less

This collection represents efforts to persuade any reader that the sonnet does not have to be a form impossible to emulate nor too difficult to understand. It should be looked upon as a challenge to... More > fit a universe of emotions into a particular framework simple in its limitations but as complex in its potential as the great writers before had made them through the brilliance of their individual genius. Themes are as different as the experiences of the writer from day to day from birth to death and all the time in between. The language need not be lofty nor does it need to reach down to the vulgar. It can borrow from the past and delve into that of the future. It can keep the rhyme schemes of those who made them famous, or it may create new ones for any reason or none at all. If sonnets are not worth reading, they would never have been made.< Less

This third volume is a collection of sonnets that awakens the emotions to a deeper level of self awareness and runs the gamut from passionate erotica to nonsensical hilarity. There are random... More > questions with more questionable answers and responses that question why an answer was ever made.There are apologies, fantasies, and reveries.

A Wrinkle in Rhyme is a an adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s young adult novel A Wrinkle in Time, a story which so affected me that I felt compelled to respond to it in the most effective... More > and complimentary way to show how it has become a part of the very fabric of my own life. The characters Charles Wallace and his sister, Meg, are truly heroic in their devotion to their mother and in the improbable rescue of their father. Reading the novel was an unforgettable experience; writing the poem is my expression of gratitude. The Odes are meant to entertain and to enjoy. They do not pretend to tell what a Grecian Earns or bestow aethereal laurels to unworthy subjects. They simply take random subjects and give them meaning beyond their otherwise insignificant existence. The war poetry conveys the horrors of battle when it results in the senseless destruction of life. This last section is a work in progress epitomized by the classic portrayal of the death of Patroclus.< Less

Shakespeare's plays were written in a language that was replete with sensuous similes, witty words, and magnificent metaphors that entertained both the gritty groundlings as well as the noteworthy... More > nobility of the Elizabethan period. The brilliance of Shakespeare's genius is lost on today's youth who have been inundated with such techno-jargon that their appreciation for his literary quality is lost in cyberspace. This text presents the message of the Bard in a language that is understandable without sacrificing rhythm, rhyme, and meaning. It parallels the voices of the characters as if they were living in the twenty-first century. This and the original can be read separately but side by side with beauty and florid literary devices on one side, and simple, understandable dialogue on the other. It doesn't intend to replace Shakespeare but only add to his legacy.< Less
